1
Prepare the Eggplant
Slice the eggplant into fry-shaped sticks, about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and bread crumbs mixed with black pepper in the third.
3
Breading the Fries
Dredge each eggplant stick first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Place the breaded sticks on a baking sheet.
4
Fry the Eggplant
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded eggplant fries in batches, frying until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Serve
Serve the eggplant fries hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
