Raw Eggplant "Bacon"

Tonight was supposed to be sushi...ya that didn't happen. Instead I decided to use some of the raw eggplant "bacon" I started making last night. I threw it in with some sprouted alfalfa, cucumber and gf tamari. Saddled up with an apple, this was a grrrrrreat meal. See below for the bacon recipe:

What you'll need

  • 1 medium eggplant
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp  tamari (gf)
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper

  1. Whisk together all ingredients except eggplant in a small bowl
  2. Peel eggplant
  3. Thinly slice the eggplant. It’s easier using a mandolin that allows for very thin slices, or a horizontal peeler
  4. Dredge in the sauce mixture
  5. Move the softened eggplant to a mesh dehydrator tray
  6. Once all the eggplant slices are done, if you have any marinade mixture left over, brush the remaining marinade over the eggplant slices.
  7. Dehydrate at 46°C  / 115°F  for 12-24 hours, depending on how thick your eggplant slices are. Mine took about 15 hours.
