Crispy Eggplant “Fries” – A Healthier Alternative to Fried Potatoes

Serving: Serve the eggplant “fries” with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or garlic aioli, or as a side to your main dish.

Storage: These eggplant fries are best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

Variations:
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the egg wash for a spicy version.

Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top after frying for an extra layer of flavor.

FAQ:
Can I bake these instead of frying? Yes, you can bake the eggplant slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a lighter version.

Do I need to peel the eggplant? No, you can leave the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients, but if you prefer, you can peel the eggplant before slicing.
