Eggplant chips are a crispy and flavorful snack made by thinly slicing eggplant and baking or frying until golden. Originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, these chips are a modern take on preparing the nutrient-rich vegetable. Eggplant itself is low in calories, high in fiber, and packed with antioxidants, including nasunin, which supports brain health. When prepared with minimal oil and seasoning, eggplant chips can be a health-conscious alternative to traditional potato chips. However, frying or heavy seasoning with salt may reduce the nutritional benefits, adding extra fat and sodium content. Often seasoned with herbs, spices, or a dash of olive oil, they pair well with dips like hummus or tzatziki. Enjoyed as a snack or appetizer, eggplant chips showcase a fusion of delicious taste and wholesome ingredients rooted in global culinary traditions.
