Eggplant “bacon”
When marinated in salty and smoky seasonings and cooked in a skillet, thinly sliced eggplant may serve as a vegan version of crispy bacon.
To make eggplant bacon, start by using a mandolin or sharp knife to cut the eggplant into long, thin slices.
Heat a heavy drizzle of canola or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Then combine 1/4 cup (60 mL) of reduced sodium soy sauce with 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of maple syrup, 2 teaspoons (10 mL) of vegan Worcestershire sauce, and 1–2 teaspoons (5 grams) of smoked paprika. Brush both sides of each eggplant slice with the mixture.
Arrange the eggplant slices in the skillet, and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until crispy and slightly charred. Transfer the eggplant “bacon” onto a plate lined with paper towels. Continue cooking the eggplant in batches.
