HOW
TO COOK IT
Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
In a small mixing bowl, create
your marinade by adding the olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup and smoked
paprika together. Give it a quick stir and put to one side.
Line a baking tray with
greaseproof paper.
Place your aubergine (eggplant)
strips onto a baking tray.
With a brush, coat the aubergine
(eggplant) strips with the marinade and place in the oven for 30-35 minutes,
turning halfway through. If you like them crispy, cook for slightly longer.
While the aubergine (eggplant)
strips are cooking, prepare your lettuce, tomatoes and avocado.
Once the aubergine (eggplant)
strips are cooked, toast your bread.
Layer the sandwich together like
this: toast, lettuce, tomato, aubergine (eggplant), avocado, toast.
Time to tuck in....enjoy!

DIETICIAN’S NOTES
Avocados are a great source of healthy fats and
contain a range of nutrients including folate, which is important for healthy
red blood cells. With wholemeal bread, this sandwich is a good source of fibre.
Add some sliced tofu for an extra protein boost.
