Val’s eggplant chips

Tools and material

- Sharp toothless knife

- Cutting board

- Large glass bowl

- Alluminum foil

Ingredients

- 3 Phillipino,Chinese or Japanese eggplants

- Your choice of ground spices: black pepper, paprika, marjoram, etc. – or:

- Garam massala or…

- Salt (optional)

- Bread crumbs - plain

- 2 spoons of extra virgin olive oil

You should go light on spices and don’t use too many. You can always add more when done. If you make this often you will determine your own amounts and choice of spices.

Before starting

- Pull out a grid tray from the oven. Lay a piece of aluminum foil on it and set it aside.

- Set the oven on bake to 400 F

Process

- Cut eggplants into 1/8” slices and toss them into the bowl

- Sprinkle them with your spices and bread crumbs

- Mix them using your both hands/fingers reaching to the bottom of the bowl

- Add the extra virgin olive oil

- Mix again

- Lay them on the aluminum foil in one layer – do not overlap any

- Reset the oven to broil high

- Put the grill on the second position from the top heating elements

Important

- Check them no later than 2 minutes and again in another minute. Time varies depending on the characteristics of your oven on the wanted result. They should be done (and soft) or slightly burned and hard. They can get completely burned if you get distracted and broil them 1 minute too many.

- Pull them out and let them cool a little

- You can eat them right away warm or later cold
