BAKED EGGPLANT FRIES RECIPE
5/5
Baked Eggplant Fries are a tasty and healthier alternative to traditional fries. These crispy and flavorful fries are made by coating eggplant slices in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture and baking them until golden brown. They make a great appetizer or side dish and are perfect for those looking for a gluten-free or low-carb option.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large eggplant
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut the eggplant into fry-like shapes, about 1/2-inch thick.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it well.
- Roll the egg-coated slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres to the eggplant.
- Place the coated eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spray the fries lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
