I kind of have a habit of taking food I dislike and find a way to make them desirable to my senses, for instance these Kale and Zuchinni recipes. So when I spotted an eggplant at the store the other day, I knew I was going to take a stab at eggplant parmesan, and it was a major hit. Luckily the next day I had some slices of eggplant left over so I tried my luck at making baked eggplant fries, and boy am I glad I did! It's tasty and crunchy without the frying.
Baked Eggplant Fries (Serves 3-4)
1/2 an eggplant sliced thin, and then cut into strips.
1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1/2 Tsp. Pepper
Salt
1 Tsp. Oregano
1-2 Eggs (Beaten)
Arrange eggplant pieces on a pan and sprinkle the tops with salt, let sit for 15 minutes.
Next, combine the dry ingredients on a plate to coat the eggplant. Dip the eggplant in egg, and then coating and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes (or until golden brown) at 425˚.
Enjoy!
These look amazing - and I love that they're baked not fried! Will definitely be giving this a try...maybe I can finally get my daughter to eat eggplant this way :)

Oh Megan - you're a great mom, stylish, pretty, intelligent, AND a whiz in the kitchen?! Is there anything you can't do? Also, I love that the few veggies I actually like are the ones you can't stand because you keep coming up with all these delicious recipes for them. :)
Thank you for sharing this! I'm definitely going to give it a try!

You can also make them vegan by omitting the egg and instead using a mixture of ground flax seed and water. If you mix about 1/2c ground flax seed with 1.5c water and let it sit about fifteen-twenty minutes, it will thicken and become, well, gooey. You just dip the eggplant (or whatever veggie) in flour, then the flax mixture, then the panko, and bake. It's a great way bread anything without egg, and flax has a ton of nutritional benefits :) -Amanda
Oh, eggplant fries are one of my favorite foods, but I've never made them myself. I totally will try this recipe!
