Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat a large metal baking tray with 1 tablespoon of oil. Take eggplant slices and place on a baking sheet. Use your hands to gently coat them in oil. Sprinkle with potato starch, nutritional yeast (if using), ¼ teaspoon sea salt, and black pepper and toss to coat well. Spread into an even layer and place in an oven. Bake for 10 minutes, flip them over when browning on bottom and bake for another 5-10 minutes.

Step 2

While baking the eggplant, slice the mushroom(s) and sear in a pan until browning and crispy on both sides, flipping as needed. No oil needed, the juices from the mushrooms will prevent sticking. Transfer to a small bowl.

Step 3

In the same pan wilt the greens. Simply place chopped greens in a pan, cover, and let cook on medium heat for 2 minutes (4-5 minutes for kale or collard greens) until bright green and wilted. Add water by the spoonful if needed, to prevent sticking or burning. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and set aside.

Step 4

When eggplant is crisp outside and soft inside, remove it from the oven and begin making your stacks. On a plate, stack eggplant, a mound of greens, a slice of mushroom, a slice of tomato, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Top with another eggplant round and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Repeat! Very yummy!
