Today Show: Crispy Eggplant Chips Recipe + Roasted Eggplant Dip

Today Show: Eggplant Recipes

Siri Pinter took on the challenging task of making people enjoy eggplant on Today Show. She and Matt Lauer tried to win over her longtime romantic partner, Carson Daly, and fellow eggplant hater Savannah Guthrie.

In a taste test, the eggplant haters agreed that the chips were not for them. However, everyone could agree on the great taste of the dip. If you are an eggplant lover, you could even make the chips and serve them with the dip, for a double helping of eggplant. Leave me a comment to tell me your least favorite vegetable.
