This is an incredibly easy and healthy dinner, and completely vegetarian!!! I often get a craving for vegetables, and this is a great way to get your veggies and not have a bunch of carbs. I've really gotten to love zoodles!!!! The hardest part is making the tortilla crumbs and coating the eggplant. Here's what you need:
- One medium sized eggplant (sliced)
- One large zucchini (or more depending how many noodles you want
- Tortilla chips
-2 eggs (beaten)
- 2 tbsp butter
- Vegetable oil
- Marinara Sauce
1.) Start by making crumbs out of the tortilla chips. You can do this with a food processor or if you dont have one place chips in a gallon sized bag and crush with rolling pin, or even a can of soup.
2.) Season chip crumbs with salt and pepper.
3.) Dip eggplant slices (I do this one by one) in the egg and then place in chip crumbs covering both sides. Set aside.
4.) Next, make the zoodles. Feel free to use a fancy spiraler or noodle maker, but I use a simple Julienne Peeler. (click the link for the amazon.com site) Cut both ends off the end of the zucchini then just shred it by pulling the peeler down or across the zucchini.
5.) Melt the butter in a skillet and add zoodles. Season with garlic salt
6.) saute until soft, set aside and keep warm.7.) warm oil (enough to almost cover eggplant slices)
8.) cook eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towel.
9.) plate zoodles first, then arrange eggplant slices, and finally drizzle with marinara sauce.
enjoy!
