Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. prepare a baking sheet.
In a bowl, toss the aubergine, maple syrup, soy sauce, liquid smoke and salt and pepper. Arrange on the baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy. In the meantime, toast the bread then spread butter over the slices. To make the chipotle mayo, combine the chipotle sauce, mayonnaise and a squeeze of lemon in a small bowl.

Chefs Tip:If you can’t find liquid smoke, you can add a tablespoon of smoked paprika to get that smoky flavour into your aubergine crisps.
You can add a sunny side egg and mozzarella cheese to this recipe to make it even more delicious for a vegetarian twist.
