You'll need to have a dehydrator for this. I love mine and use it all the time. This is an idea I wrote down from someone's blog I was on, don't remember who or where. I'm not a huge fan of eggplant and these take some getting used to, but if you like eggplant than this is for you. The first time I did this I wanted to try the fance slicing blade on my food processor for the first time so I made very thin eggplant slices. It's better making slices about 1/4" or so thick. Once dehydrated you lose a lot of size, so the thin pieces became too thin really. so I dehydrate them several hours, until dry and crispy. then, soak them in a mixture of 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon apple-cider vinegar. Next I put them back in the dehydrator and sprinkled them with sea salt and chili powder and any other seasoning I want and dehydrate them again until crispy. They're definitely tasty, I'm just not that much into eggplant. Come visit and I'll share them with you.
