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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
