Oh eggplant – how we love to hate you. Oddly shaped with a different texture than expected, even eggplant lovers often bury it in ratatouille or eggplant parmesan covered by sauce and cheese. This paleo eggplant flatbread with prosciutto and arugula lets the eggplant be the star of the show. With it’s crisp texture and savory flavor next to fresh tomatoes and basil, you’ll never try to hide your eggplant again!
