Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Eggplant
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the eggplant thoroughly and slice it into thin, even rounds (about 1/8 inch thickness) using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Place the eggplant slices on a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle both sides lightly with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Pat the eggplant slices dry with a paper towel to remove the moisture and any extra salt.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the eggplant slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the oiled eggplant slices, making sure to coat them evenly.
Arrange the seasoned eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the slices over and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the eggplant chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. They will crisp up more as they cool.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
