I like this with Eggplant the best – you can also use zucchini or yellow squash, or onion to make onion rings

Eggplant Nuggets

Serves 4

3 large eggplants
1/2 cup olive oil mixed with 1 Tablespoon honey
3 cups of Almonds (or as an option use hemp seeds, sunflower seeds or even sesame seeds)
1/2 tablespoons Turmeric
3 tablespoons Himalayan Salt
Extra virgin Olive Oil, sesame oil or Coconut Oil for cooking

INSTRUCTIONS:
– Chop the vegetable into cubes or rounds for the nuggets.
– In a bowl mix the 1/2 cup oil and 1 T honey. Drop the eggplant cubes into the oil/honey mix and coat well.
– Mix the turmeric, almonds, and himalayan salt in a blender or coffee grinder until crumbly.
– Place one vegetable cube at a time into the spice coating mix and cover well.
– Heat up a fry pan and when ready add the oil. When the oil is sizzling add the nuggets to the pan and cook until the outside is a crunchy golden brown.
– Serve with a marinara or ranch dipping sauce.
