Eggplant Fries Ingredients

  • 1 medium eggplant
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Tzatziki Sauce or Marinara for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with a wire rack and spray or brush with olive oil.
  • Trim and cut the eggplant into 1-inch rounds. Sprinkle with salt and set aside for 20 minutes. Pat dry, then cut into even-sized batons or 'fries'.
  • Set up 3 shallow bowls: add flour in the first bowl, eggs in the second, and mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper in the third. Dredge eggplant fries in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with breadcrumb mixture.
  • Arrange breaded eggplant on the wire rack in a single layer. Spray with olive oil or drizzle it, ensuring they aren't touching, then bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve hot or warm with Tzatziki sauce or marinara. Enjoy!

Notes

You can prepare the Tzatziki Sauce a day in advance. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and stir before serving.
