Eggplant pizza bites are easy vegetarian low carb appetizers made of baked eggplant, tomato sauce, spinach, and cheese. A simple delicious gluten-free appetizer that can easily be vegan-ized using ‘vegan cashew cheese’.
You know how much I love fun finger food that involves vegetables right? Eggplant is my girl’s favorite vegetable and as her 5th birthday is coming up, I am trying new fun recipes for her. She loves pizza, she loves eggplant so say hello to those delicious eggplant pizza bites.
All you need to make those delicious eggplant pizza bites are 5 ingredients:
It passed the test of both kids tonight. These bites will be on the birthday finger food table for sure with my homemade low carb tortilla chips.
I was surprised how they hold pretty well in your hands. It is a very easy appetizer to serve at any time, and the flavor is amazing!
It tastes like pizza, without the crispy crust of course – but also only 1.7 grams of net carbs per bite!
The eggplant base is soft and melts in your mouth. It is not chewy at all. Even if you are not a big fan of eggplant, give this a go! It is divine!

I used one eggplant in this recipe – which makes 10 slices. Of course, there are mostly large bites – that I enjoyed myself! but there are also few small bites from the top of the eggplant that are perfect for the kids’ hands. I served this for dinner tonight and my 2 kids and I devoured the whole eggplant! Delicious!

Hi Carine, I wanted to double check wether one eggplant, described as one portion, really only has 1,8 net carbs or did you maybe mean one single slice? if so, I would suggest changing that in the nutritional facts.
The recipe calls for 1 eggplant and you make 10 slices with the eggplant. One serve, as seen in the nutrition panel refers to one slice so 1.8g net carbs/slice. Eggplants and tomato paste are on the highest carb keto vegetable list that’s why it adds up fast.
I have been making these using egg white coating. The egg white has the advantage that it enables you to prepare the eggplant on a frying pan. You can save a lot of time and the eggplant does not get mushy of the frying oil/butter/lard. The egg white creates a protective layer and the result is a crispy eggplant slice.
That is very clever! Thanks for sharing your tips, XOXO Carine
Tried this today! Loved it. I did keep it for few extra minutes.
Delicious! I tried different styles of pizzas as suggested and each was yummy in its own way. My first recipe from this site and I am so impressed.
I am so glad you found my blog ! Enjoy the recipes around here, XOXO Carine
Very delicious, but I prefer to eat it without olive oil, thanks for the article.
These look really good so I am going to try them. Do you know the breakdown per serving for calories and fat? Serving about 4-5 slices. I log all of my food for dietary purposes so accounting for carbs, fat, protein, and total calories is important to me.
Full nutrition panel appears after the recipe card, scoll down for details Enjoy the recipe. XOXO Carine.
These turned out so great! I used two eggplants so I could have leftovers for lunches this week. I also made them a few different ways for verity! I made some with tomato sauce and vegan cheese, home made pesto and feta cheese, tomato sauce and goat cheese, and a few with a combination of the two sauces and different cheeses. I enjoyed having different ones to chose from so I don’t get sick of eating them. My favorite were the tomato sauce and goat cheese ones!
They were soo easy and delicious!
I love all your toppings idea, specially the pesto one, I am a pesto lover and never thought about adding this to those eggplant pizza bites. Such a clever flavor combo. Thanks SO much for trying my recipes and sharing with me all your ideas. Can’t wait to try this too. Enjoy the blog recipes. XOXO Carine.

Love it ! even my toddler ask for more. I can’t believe it. Thanks for such a great recipe
Hi Carine
This sounds like an awesome recipe.
Can you freeze them once made?
Hi! I would not freeze them Eggplant are very soft and may get soggy after freezing. But as I said in the recipe you can pre-bake the slices few days before and store in the fridge. It store well for 3-4 days. Enjoy the recipe! XOXO Carine.
it was very simple to make and delicious – I leave out the skin tho
