I’ve been thinking about this idea for a buffalo eggplant sandwich for several weeks now. I recently reshot the photos for one of my most popular recipes, crispy baked eggplant. Fun fact, I just learned that recipe has been pinned 2,000 times on Pinterest! And it’s popular for a reason: it’s easy, relatively healthy, and is endlessly adaptable. Plus, you won’t believe how crispy and crunchy this eggplant gets even without frying it!

And maybe I’ve been craving buffalo chicken wings or something, but it seemed like that crispy baked eggplant would make a really awesome vegetarian version of a buffalo chicken sandwich. I was right, the eggplant works so well in this sandwich.

The crispy oven-fried eggplant stacks so nicely in the sandwich making it easy to eat. The buffalo sauce coats the crispy eggplant well. The shredded carrots give the sandwich a fresh crunch and the blue cheese recipe is fantastic (double it and use the leftovers for a cobb salad after you make these sandwiches!)

This is a sandwich that will satiate any buffalo chicken craving you have—and you won’t miss the meat!

    I *love* buffalo chicken – wings, sandwiches, pizza, dip, you name it. This hit all the right notes of the flavors, plus the crunchy eggplant mirrored what you get from fried chicken on the sandwich. I’m hoping this is lunch again today!
