I recommend using a mandolin or a food processor with the slice disc inserted. I definitely love using my Breville Food processor- seriously it does so much (like shred potatoes and zucchini, makes delicious salsa, and even cookies!)

Baked eggplant slices that are tasty and crispy are perfect!
Eggplants vary in size and you can always cut them to the correct shape and size you need for your chips.
So donโt worry too much if you have a huge one from your garden or a cucumber shaped one from the store. They will both taste delicious!
I used a large one I bought from the store- and it made lots of chips.
