Raw Eggplant “Fries”

 

• 2 eggplants
• 1/4 cup cold pressed olive oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon nama shoyu (or tamari)
• 1 tablespoon raw agave nectar, coconut crystals or other raw sweetener of choice
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder

1. Peel and slice eggplant into 1/4 inch slices. Cut the slices into 1-inch wide “fries”.

2. Place sliced eggplant in bowl.

3. Mix all of the rest of the ingredients together, pour over eggplant.

4. Marinate over night, stirring occasionally to coat.

5. Dehydrate at 145degrees F, ( 40 C) for 1 hour, reduce heat to 115 and dehydrate until crisp, about 6-8 more hours. (Don’t worry about starting at a higher temperature. The food never gets to that temp and is still raw.)
