Light Late Night Snack....Baked Eggplant "Fries"

Ummmm, yes please!  I am a sucker for snacks, especially late night ones.  Instead of running to that vending machine for some crappy, preservative filled chips, check out what you have in your "plantry".

I am not one to love eggplant, though this recipe sure does do this plant justice!  And, it sure does kill those late night munchies!  Quick, easy, pain-free!

 There are many variations of this, and I will make sure to explore more plant based ingredients similar to this one.  Play around with your favorite seasonings to make this your own.







Ingredients:  (yields 2 servings)
1/4 large eggplant (cut into rectangular slices similar to potato fries)
1 tbsp egg substitute powder mixed with the appropriate amount of water
1/4 c whole wheat bread crumbs
nutritional yeast
salt
garlic powder
onion powder
italian seasoning
evoo

Directions:
preheat oven to 450
 mix the bread crumbs, nut. yeast, salt, garlic & onion powder, and italian seasoning in a shallow bowl.  take your eggplant slices and first lightly brush with evoo, the dunk them into the egg substitute mixture, and then coat with the seasoned bread crumb mixture.

bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.  Serve with your favorite condiment.  I chose marinara sauce.
Yummy!
