Ingredients to make oven eggplant chips:
1. For the oven eggplant chips to be crispy and at its point, we wash it well and cut fine slices with the help of a mandolin. If we do not have this utensil, we can use a knife, paying attention not to overcome the centimeter thick. Likewise, the slices can be cut throughout or wide, as we like it!
2. We place the slices on absorbent paper, sprinkle some salt and let them rest for 10-15 minutes. With this step what we get is that the eggplant expels much of the water that composes it, a fact that favors dehydration in the oven and obtains a much more crispy result.
3. After the previous time, we prepare a bowl with the oil and pepper to taste. Then, we pass the slices of eggplant so that they are well impregnated. If you want, you can add other spices to seasoning, such as paprika, oregano, thyme, rosemary …
4. We preheat the oven at 150 ºC. While heating, we lined the tray with baking paper and placed the slices separate between them. Once hot, we bake the eggplant for approximately 15 minutes, turning around half cooking so that the chips are done on both sides.
5. Depending on the type of oven, it is possible that vegetable chips are made before, so that we recommend being attentive to prevent them from burning. When they are ready, we let them cool and enjoy these delicious and simple oven eggplant chips as an appetizer.
