Instructions

1

Preparation

40 minutes

Wash aubergines, cut into 3 mm thin slices and soak in salted water for 30 minutes to remove bitter compounds. Then drain well and pat dry with kitchen paper.

2

Seasoning

10 minutes

Mix olive oil, sea salt, paprika powder, garlic powder and black pepper in a bowl. Coat the aubergine slices evenly with the spice mixture and let it soak in briefly.

3

Dehydrating

8-10 hours

Place aubergine slices side by side on the dehydrator trays without overlapping. Set the dehydrator to 57 °C and dry for 8-10 hours until the chips are completely crispy and dry.

4

Cooling and Storage

30 minutes

Allow chips to cool completely to room temperature before storing in an airtight container. When stored correctly, the chips will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Pro Tip

Cut slices as evenly thin as possible (approx. 3 mm) so that all chips finish at the same time.
