Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 2 small Chinese eggplants

Coating

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs can use Italian seasoned for more flavor
  • 1 extra large egg gently whisked

Seasoning

  • salt as needed
  • pepper as needed

Dipping Sauce

  • marinara or honey mustard for dipping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice eggplant into spears, about 4 inches long and ½ inch wide.
  • Dip eggplant spears into whisked egg and then roll in the breadcrumbs. A lot of the breadcrumbs will likely slip off, but that's okay.
  • Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining eggplant. Bake for about 20 minutes or until panko breadcrumbs turn a light brown.
  • If you are using unseasoned breadcrumbs, sprinkle with salt and pepper as needed. Serve with marinara or honey mustard sauce.

Notes

These baked eggplant fries are a healthier and less oily alternative to traditional deep-fried versions.
