Prepare the Eggplant
Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes. This step helps to draw out moisture and bitterness.

Fry the Eggplant
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded eggplant slices in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
