Sage and onion stuffed Eggplant mini roasts with sweet potato chips

This is one of my favourite Eggplant recipes. I love to make stuffed Eggplant mini roasts for dinner at least once a fortnight. If you don’t like Eggplant, you can substitute chicken instead of Eggplant.

Place the 8 pieces of Eggplant meat onto a flat surface and lightly tenderize with a meat mallet.

In a small bowl, chop the onion, sage and garlic and place it into the bowl. Add the egg; fresh bread crumbs, all spice and lemon juice. Mix well in the bowl then place onto the top of each Eggplant.

Roll the Eggplant up tightly then tie the butchers twine around the Eggplant mini roasts. Place the Eggplant mini roasts on a greased oven tray and basted the Eggplant with the honey. Bake in the oven on 375F for 20 minutes.

Make the sweet potato chips by peeling the sweet potato and cutting the sweet potato into thin strips. Place the thin sweet potato strips in a shallow frying pan half filled with vegetable oil. Fry the sweet potato until the sweet potato becomes golden brown.

Place the sweet potato chips on the side of your serving plate. Cut the butchers twine off the Eggplant mini roasts and serve whole.
