RedHot Baked Eggplant

This is a great way to enjoy eggplant. The hot sauce marinates the eggplant nicely to add a bit of heat and the garbanzo bean flour along with the flax meal add a nice crust. If you do not have access to the Frank's RedHot Sauce, I do have a copy cat recipe for it HERE

INGREDIENTS

1 medium eggplant (about 1 pound)

1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce

1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour

1/2 cup ground flax meal

1 tablespoon onion salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Slice the eggplant into 3/4 inch slices.

Place the hot sauce in a large re-sealable plastic bag and toss in the eggplant; let sit for 1 hour.

Mix together the remaining ingredients in a bowl.

Remove the eggplant rounds and press both sides into the flour mixture one at a time shaking off any excess flour and place them in a single layer onto a baking sheet that has been coated with non-stick spray.

Spray the top of the rounds with non-stick spray.

Place in a pre-heated 400 degree oven and bake for 15 minutes turning them half way through.

Enjoy!
