These crispy baked eggplant fries are the perfect guilt-free snack—crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Coated in a light, seasoned crust and baked to perfection, they’re a healthier alternative to traditional fries. Ideal for satisfying your savory cravings without any of the guilt!
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant, cut into thin fry-like strips
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (use whole-wheat or gluten-free as desired)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste
Directions
- Prep the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Place the beaten eggs in a separate bowl.
- Coat the Eggplant: Dip each eggplant strip in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Bake: Arrange the coated eggplant fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with a side of marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.
