Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Wire rack
  • shallow bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium eggplant
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 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
 

  • 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. If time allows, sprinkle salt on both sides and set aside for 20 minutes to remove bitterness. Pat dry and cut into batons or 'fries.'
  • Set up 3 shallow bowls: one with flour, one with lightly beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Dredge eggplant fries in the flour, dip in eggs, and coat in breadcrumb mixture.
  • Arrange breaded eggplant on the wire rack in a single layer. Spray with olive oil or drizzle with it, bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve hot or warm with Tzatziki sauce or a side of marinara.

Notes

You can prepare the Tzatziki Sauce a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Nutritional calculation does not include the Tzatziki Sauce.
