Crispy baked eggplant fries that are easy to make and deliciously satisfying.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large eggplant
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch thick fry shapes, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Whisk eggs in a bowl and mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
  3. Rinse and pat dry the eggplant slices, then dip in the egg wash and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  5. Allow cooling for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
