Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Eggplant Chips
  • 2 medium eggplants sliced thinly
  • 1 teaspoon salt for sweating the eggplant
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour can substitute with gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika for spice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon cumin for an earthy taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper for seasoning
  • 1/4 cup olive oil for brushing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the eggplants thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
  3. Rinse the eggplant slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Coating and Baking
  1. In a bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Dredge each eggplant slice in the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.
  3. Place the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer.
  4. Brush the tops of the eggplant slices with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. Remove the eggplant chips from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a snack or as a side dish!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before baking. These chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but they are best enjoyed fresh!
