Keto Eggplant Bites Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium eggplant
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (for greasing or drizzling)
  • Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Eggplant:
    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
    • Sprinkle salt on both sides of each slice and let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Then, pat the slices dry with a paper towel.
  2. Set Up the Dipping Station:
    • In one bowl, whisk the egg.
    • In a separate shallow dish, mix the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the Eggplant:
    • Dip each eggplant slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
    • Then, coat it with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
  4. Bake the Bites:
    • Arrange the coated eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Lightly drizzle or spray olive oil over the top of the slices.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve:
    • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
    • Serve warm as an appetizer or snack with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce (like ranch or marinara).
