My review
Eggplant Bacon
4
Companion
"Sweet 'n smoky bacon eggplant slices baked in crispy little strips. The process is easy... Great to add as a bacon replacement to pretty much everything (BLT, club sandwich, etc). You can break into little pieces and add to a spinach salad, Caesar salad, on baked potatoes, or in soup!"

I followed the recipe exactly. It was a bit too spicey for my family so I will cut back on the spice. I found this burned too easily so I am working on a few changes: careful not to cut too thin...
