Eggplant (Aubergine) Croutons image

I found this recipe when I was watching my carbs. It was described as a substitute for salad croutons, and I think they would be great that way. But, I've also used them as a chip for hummus, and it is a great combination. By the way, Japanese eggplants are smaller skinny eggplants.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 15-20 croutons, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large Japanese eggplants
salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Slice eggplant into rounds and 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Place slices directly on an oven rack, carefully laying them out so they don't fall between the bars. Bake for 20 minutes or until the eggplant shrinks and becomes dry.
  • Lightly rinse each slice to remove excess salt. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Combine oil and paprika in a small frying pan.
  • Oven medium-high heat, cook each slice on both sides until crips and browned, 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

I'm going to try making these eggplant croutons with different herbs and spices. I think they would be great with rosemary or thyme.
