Ingredients

Eggplant (Raw)
1 eggplant, unpeeled (approx 1-1/4 lb) / 548 grams
Almond milk (Plain)
3 cup / 720 grams
Corn grits, yellow (Cereals, regular and quick, enriched, dry)
1 cup / 170 grams
Olive oil (Salad or cooking)
2 tbsp / 27 grams
Limes (Raw)
1 fruit (2″ dia) / 67 grams
Salt (Table)
1 dash / 0.40 grams
Raw Agave Nectar (365 Everyday Value)
1 tbsp / 21 grams

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and smear a bit of olive oil on it. Set aside.
Step 2
Cut eggplant into 1/2 inch wedges. Place the eggplant pieces in a large bowl and sprinkle with a bit of salt. Cover the pieces with the almond milk. Let the eggplant sit for an hour so that the bitterness can draw out.
Step 3
Pour the corn grits into a shallow dish. Stir a good pinch of salt into the grits. Arrange the soaked eggplant, dish of polenta, and lined baking sheet beside each other. Shake off excess milk from eggplant pieces and roll/press them in the grits. Transfer coated pieces to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining eggplant.
Step 4
Drizzle the coated pieces with olive oil and slide the sheet into the oven.
