I had a beautiful eggplant in the refrigerator and was planning to serve it that evening when I was having family over for dinner. I wanted to come up with something a bit more interesting than grilled or sautéed eggplant, so I figured I would quickly try to come up with a new recipe. Crispy Eggplant Rounds was created and was a hit with the family! This is a great recipe if you need a new side dish or want something yummy to bring over to a friend’s home. For entertaining, drizzle balsamic glaze over eggplant, arrange the rounds in a pretty serving dish, and you have a beautiful and tasty side! My kids like to dip in marinara or barbecue sauce. Enjoy!



Crispy Eggplant Rounds Save Print Prep time 5 mins Cook time 5 mins Total time 10 mins Author: Momma Chef Serves: 6 Ingredients 1 large eggplant cut into thick rounds (about ¾" thick)

½ cup whole wheat flour

2 tsp Lawry's Seasoning Salt

1 tsp cumin

⅓ cup olive oil Instructions Soak eggplant rounds in water for about 3 minutes. While eggplant is soaking, mix flour, salt and cumin in a large Ziplock bag. Heat oil over medium heat in large skillet. Drain eggplant and shake in flour mixture so eggplant is coated. Once the oil is hot, drop eggplant rounds in oil and cook for 3 minutes per side. **For a low-carb version, after shaking the eggplant in the flour mixture, place the rounds onto a greased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. 3.5.3226
