Discover how to make crispy eggplant slices, ideal for meal prep lunch boxes, that enhance your weekly meals with flavor and nutrition.
Ingredients
Scale
1 large eggplant, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Start by slicing the eggplant into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
Once sliced, sprinkle the eggplant rounds with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse the slices and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss the eggplant slices in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned eggplant, coating both sides generously.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Once the eggplant slices are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to an airtight container for meal prep.
Notes
Crispy eggplant slices are a delicious and versatile addition to meal prep lunch boxes, adding flavor and nutrition.
