Eggplant Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Wash the eggplant thoroughly and cut it into fry-sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

Breading the Eggplant

  1. 3

    Bread the Eggplant Sticks

    Take each eggplant stick, coat it in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated. Set aside on a plate.

Frying the Eggplant Fries

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Eggplant Fries

    Carefully add the breaded eggplant sticks to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Marinara Sauce

    Place the crispy eggplant fries on a serving platter and serve hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
