How You’ll Make It
- Make the Eggplant Bacon: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the thinly sliced eggplant on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, soy sauce or tamari, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and maple syrup (if using). Brush this mixture onto both sides of the eggplant slices. Roast the eggplant for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t burn.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the bread slices lightly if desired. Spread a generous layer of hummus on one slice of bread. Layer the crispy eggplant bacon on top of the hummus. Add any optional toppings like sliced cucumber, red onion, and fresh spinach or lettuce. Top with the second slice of bread and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Hummus and Eggplant Bacon Sandwich—a savory and satisfying meal that’s full of flavor!
