Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Eggplant: Wash and slice the eggplant into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Try to keep the slices as uniform as possible for even cooking.
3. Remove Excess Moisture: Lay the eggplant slices in a single layer on a paper towel. Sprinkle with a little salt and let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat the slices dry with additional paper towels.
4. Season: In a large bowl, toss the eggplant slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano (if using), salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
5. Arrange: Arrange the seasoned eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure they get crispy.
6. Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning. The chips should be golden brown and crispy.
7. Optional Parmesan: If you like, sprinkle a bit of grated Parmesan cheese on the chips during the last 5 minutes of roasting for extra flavor.
8. Cool: Let the chips cool on a wire rack to maintain their crispiness. Enjoy as a snack or with your favorite keto dip!

These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Enjoy your keto-friendly treat!
