- 1 medium Eggplant Quartered and sliced
- 3/4 cup Almond flour

Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients except arrowroot, milk, and eggplant in one large bag.
- In another bag, add the eggplant slices. Sprinkle and shake in the arrowroot powder to coat the eggplant.

- A few pieces at a time, add the powdered eggplant slices to the bowl of milk.
- Remove the eggplant pieces from the bowl of milk and coat them with the breading mix. Shake to coat well.
