Eggplant Toast (Paleo, Whole30)

Move over avocado toast and sweet potato toast... 'Cause there's a new toast in instatown. Eggplant toast? Ya, that's a thing! Eggplant is amazing! It cooks up so rich, creamy, and smoky that it always seems like I should be feeling guilty eating it, yet it's actually pretty low in calories, and that deep, purple skin is full of antioxidants. Tuck yea! It's also easy to cook and can be prepared in a so many different ways. You can throw it on the grill in the summer, use it in heavy braises in the winter, make it as a dip for parties, and stir-fries throughout the year.

My new favorite way to enjoy it is Eggplant toast! It's so easy, and very delicious. You'll want to brush both sides with coconut oil, and cook 3-4 min each side with your grill pan on med-high. If you're using the oven, you'll want to roast at 400F for 20-25 minutes. The topping possibilities are endless.
