These crispy baked eggplant slices are a flavorful and healthier alternative to traditional fried eggplant. They are coated in a savory Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, then baked until golden brown and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds small to medium-size eggplant (about 6 depending on exact size)
  • 2 large eggs

Coating Mixture:

  • 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup plain panko breadcrumbs (use Rice Chex crumbs for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Additional:

  • Olive oil, for baking sheets
  • Optional: marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly coat a baking sheet with oil. Set aside.
  2. Prepare Coating: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. In another bowl, combine the panko or Rice Chex crumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat Eggplant Slices: Cut the eggplants into thick rounds. Dip the eggplant slices in the egg mixture, then coat them in the Parmesan mixture and transfer to the baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and continue baking until lightly browned on the other side.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve as is or with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize the seasoning mix to suit your taste preferences.
  • Ensure the eggplant slices are evenly coated for a crispy texture.
