  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (use whole-wheat or gluten-free as desired)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 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.
