 First recipe of this yummy-summer... (see the excited face above...cause this is soooo good!)

The Divine Eggplant Fries

(makes two big portions of fries)

Ingredients: 

1 eggplant

some good olive oil (about five tablespoons - i kinda eyeballed the amount)

himalayan sea salt (add some to the oil and some on top of the fries before baking them)

fresh black pepper, grounded

a good amount of herbs (dried or fresh... I used a blend of Mediterranean herbs)

sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon to the oil & then some on top of the fries (great calcium source!)

a squeeze of lemon

How to:

- Preheat the oven to 225 C. (437 F)

- Cut the eggplant in half, and then those pieces into half again.

- Then dice them into french fry-sized pieces.

- Mix the oil, salt, pepper, sesame seeds, herbs and lemon in a bowl.

- Add the eggplant-fries into the oil-bowl.

- Mix the oil and the eggplant in the bowl so that all the fries are covered in the oil&spice-mixture. 

(-Add some oil if all of the fries are not looking oiled up enough.)

- Spread the fries onto a baking sheet.

- Sprinkle some sesame seeds onto the fries and roll them around so that all of the fries are evenly covered with the seeds. 


- Sprinkle some salt on top.

- Bake, turning once, until brown & crispy (yet tender to bite). 

- Serve immediately with some nice ketchup or hummus... 


- Say with me... Yum-mee!
