Crispy baked eggplant slices coated in a flavorful breadcrumb mixture.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large eggplant
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole grain)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 20 minutes.
  2. Beat the eggs in one bowl and mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in another.
  3. Rinse and dry the eggplant, then dip in egg mixture and coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), line a baking sheet, and arrange the breaded slices without touching.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.

Notes

  • Let the eggplant sit with salt to reduce bitterness.
  • Ensure the eggplant slices are not touching when baking for even crisping.
