Default Eggplant

I love eggplant when it is crunchy, right out of the oven. Anyone know a way to keep it crunchy, to use as a snack? When I cool it & put it in a ziploc and then in the fridge, it gets mushy.

Hi Kyemom I found a recipe from my eggplant web site that would make a great oven baked crispy eggplant. Its:

Crispy eggplant without coating? how do you achieve that even when it's fresh out of the oven? Actually, I like eggplant because it's all gushy and well cooked. I think it's best cold a day after it's been grilled and has sat in the fridge. One of my favorite snacks!

I put a bit of parm cheese on top at the end, and it makes it even more crispy

I've never had crispy eggplant without frying. So share your recipe please, in detail because at times I can be clueless. I'd love to try it.

Sarah:
I peel the outside off the eggplant, and then slice it to about 1/4 inch thickness. I do it in width not length, so I get "chip" sized pieces. Put on a cookie sheet and spray with olive oild spray. Sprinkle with onion powder & garlic powder. Bake at 425 degrees until starting to turn brown. Flip over, respray with olive oil, resprinkle with powders. Continue to cook until brown on this side, then put parm. cheese on the tops. Cook until melted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm...well, it is a squash...but has a meatier consistency than summer squash...it is kind of sweet, but not too sweet...the garlic & parmesan go great with it, and it is used a lot in italian dishes....Can't really explain the taste...just try it..even my kids 5 & 7 love it.

Kimberly,
You're just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a small one to see if you like it. It's all in how it's prepared, sometimes it has a little bit of a bitter taste, but if it's prepared properly it's....well difficult to describe....so go get one and try this recipe and see if you like it.

Happy experimenting!
Sarah
