EGGPLANT PARMESAN CHIPS
I was doing some research on Eggplant Parmesan and came across this little goody. All the crispy goodness of traditional Eggplant Parmesan, only in bite size snack form. It fries up quickly, is crunchy, salty and guests can't keep their hands off of it. This would probably be delish baked too. Adapted from Life's Ambrosia.
