Amazingly Tasty Eggplant Recipes You Should Try

6. Smoky Eggplant Bacon

Who knew eggplant could be a great bacon substitute? This recipe is smoky, salty, and will easily convert the nonbelievers.

Cut one eggplant into thin half-moon slices. Coat the slices in olive oil and salt and bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for eight minutes. Flip the eggplant and bake for three more minutes. While the eggplant is baking, make the smoky dip by combining a quarter cup of soy sauce with one teaspoon of liquid smoke in a small bowl.

Take the eggplant out of the oven and dip each piece in the sauce. Lower the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the eggplant slices for five more minutes, or until dark brown and tender. Add these to your favorite salads and sandwiches.
