Step 1

Preheat oven 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with the oil and set aside. Mix vegan mayo and almond milk in a medium bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine breading ingredients, almond flour, nutritional yeast flakes, onion powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and mix well.

Step 2

Dip each slice of eggplant in the mayonnaise mixture, then coat thoroughly on both sides with the breading and lay in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Meanwhile, the eggplant is in the oven, so prepare the almond cheese sauce.

Step 4

Place ingredients for almond cheese sauce in a high-speed blender, almond flour, water, nutritional yeast flakes, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and process until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

To serve Eggplant bites, place prepared eggplant slices on a serving platter and top with tomatoes, artichoke hearts, basil leaves and almond cheese sauce. Serve immediately!
