Crispy Eggplant Bites (Oil Free, Vegan)

Video Description

This time of year one of the most asked about foods that comes up is eggplant. It seems that there is an abundance of them in the stores which prompts many families to pick some up, but unfortunately most go bad on the kitchen counter without every being touched. I know I have been guilty to this in the past as well. Really I think the problem for myself was that there was not many whole food plant based, vegan and oil free recipes dealing with eggplant that really caught my attention. So I decided to try a few different ways of preparing my eggplant and found that I loved the taste and texture it had after being baked with a thin coating to add a bit of a crispy bite. I now make this recipe on the regular and almost every time that we are having pasta and red sauce in the Fall you can expect to have some crispy eggplant bites to go with it. Dr Miller and I love adding these into my easy InstantPot marinara (https://youtu.be/DMQawIFBfKM) or pumpkin pasta sauce (https://youtu.be/R2ePL4HKl8M). You can also opt to just eat these as a healthy side dish, dipping them in your favorite sauces. I have found that these do keep well in the fridge, but you will need to bake them for a few minutes to crisp them up again before serving.
