Skip the carbs and go straight for the really good stuff with this California Avocado Eggplant Pizza Recipe!

This summer, I tried really really hard to eliminate my biggest weakness from my diet…carbs. I’m a huge bread fan, but let me tell you young friends… once you turn 40, you just can’t do all that carb eating and expect things not tochange. Every slice of delicious bread goes right to your hips, belly, face, etc.

Laying off carbshasn’t been easy, because I LOVE carbs, but it hasn’t been as hard as I anticipated either. I’ve gonewithout carbs for long enough now that I’ve been able to reintroduce them without feeling like I need to pig out on them. It’s safe to say that my current relationship with carbs is a healthy love affair, not an obsession.

Throughout this carbless adventure, I’ve discovered some really tasty way to eat things I love, like pizza, without adding the carbs. Nothing, and I repeat nothing, will ever really take the place of my beloved pizza crust, but I’ve discovered something that certainly comes close.

What I refer to as California Pizza (pizza with bacon and California Avocados) is one of my favorite kinds of pizzas. When I recently made mini versions of California Pizza with eggplant as the crust, I couldn’t believe it. I actually likethis little California Avocado Eggplant Pizza recipe better than my favorite traditional California Pizza. The eggplant is truly so flavorful. Combined with the creaminess of the diced California Avocado, pizza sauce, bacon and cheese, you’ve got yourself mini pizza perfection!

Giving up carbs is hard…but when you have recipes like this one to turn to, the sacrifice doesn’t seem all that bad! Enjoy!

Place sliced eggplant on a layer of paper towels and sprinkle generously with Kosher salt. Cover with another layer of paper towels and allow to sit for 20 minutes (this removes the extra moisture from the eggplant slices and is also known to remove any bitterness from the eggplant). After 20 minutes have passed, wipe off the eggplant slices with a clean and dry paper towel.

I quit bread (still can’t believe I did it!!) just before summer and introduced smoothies into my routine. It’s been life changing! I am loosing weight and my midsection is looking better. But above all that I am feeling great and that makes me so happy! I still have an occasional pizza but like you said, don’t pig out on it. 🙂 LOVING this eggplant pizza idea! I tried with zucchini and my kids thought it was super fun. I need to make it with eggplant! California style is my fave too!

What a great idea to use eggplant as a pizza base. Eggplant are smaller in size in Japan but now I live in Australia, eggplant are ginormous, I must try this as I love eggplant and also watching my carb intake. Thank you.
