Ingredients
- 1/2 large aubergine
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp Fused Clever Classic soy Sauce
- Half tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 pinch garlic powder
- Half tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 120C/100C fan/gas 1 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Use two trays if small. When the aubergine slices are placed on the tray they should not overlap.
- Cut the halved aubergine once more in half, lengthways, so you have two long, skinny pieces.
- Then cut each piece into thin long strips about 3mm thick - resembling the size/shape of bacon, slightly thicker than paper thin.
- Mix together the oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Lay the aubergine slices on the baking tray in a single layer and brush both sides with the soy and spice mixture.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, then flip aubergine slices over, and bake for an additional 5-15 minutes (or longer if slices are thicker).
Notes
Note: the aubergine bacon will crisp up more as it cools so don’t take it too far in the oven or it’ll go too hard.
