Eggplant Chips

Eggplant Chips

Ingredients:

1 Eggplant (or if you are like me, you make 2 or 3 at a time!)

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1/2 olive oil

Note:  these amounts are approximate, the amount will change depending on how large your eggplant is and how many you make at a time

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Slice eggplant into rounds.  Place on baking pan and brush with olive oil.  I allow a good amount of olive oil to soak into each slice of eggplant.  Then in a bowl, mix together parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, and garlic powder.  Sprinkle on top of eggplant slices and spread out so that it creates its own thin layer on top.  Below is a picture to show what the sprinkled layer on top will look like:

Now place into oven and allow to cook approx. 15 minutes on this side, until the sprinkled layer has completely melted and looks like this:

Now, using a fork, flip each slice of eggplant over to the other side.  Now, on the new tops, sprinkle mozzarella cheese.  Mine look like this before cooking:

Place back into oven and cook for another 15 minutes approximately, until the cheese starts to brown.  They are delicious and make a great side dish for a meal!   As far as carb information for eggplant, 1 cup of eggplant equals 5 total carbs or 2.5 net carbs.  Enjoy!
