EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CROUTONS
I found this recipe when I was watching my carbs. It was described as a substitute for salad croutons, and I think they would be great that way. But, I've also used them as a chip for hummus, and it is a great combination. By the way, Japanese eggplants are smaller skinny eggplants.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Slice eggplant into rounds and 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Place slices directly on an oven rack, carefully laying them out so they don't fall between the bars. Bake for 20 minutes or until the eggplant shrinks and becomes dry.
- Lightly rinse each slice to remove excess salt. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Combine oil and paprika in a small frying pan.
- Oven medium-high heat, cook each slice on both sides until crips and browned, 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
CRISPY CROUTON SALAD
Nothing says "summer" at our house like this unique salad! It's also a great way to use up fresh basil and tomatoes from the garden. I've brought it to many women's luncheons at church, and it's still a much-requested favorite. --LaNae Sanchez, Canyon Country, California
