Crispy Eggplant Parmesan Fries Recipe

Ingredients (for two–3 servings):

1 medium eggplant

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works nice for extra crispiness)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to flavor

2 eggs (or 2–3 tbsp milk for vegan version with flax egg)

2–3 tbsp flour (or gluten-unfastened flour if needed)

Olive oil or cooking spray

Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

1. Prep the Eggplant:

Wash and cut the eggplant into fry-like sticks (about ¼–½ inch thick).

Optional: Sprinkle gently with salt and let take a seat for 10–15 minutes to cast off extra moisture, then pat dry. This prevents sogginess.

2. Set Up Breading Station:

Bowl 1: Flour

Bowl 2: Beaten eggs (or milk/flax mixture)

Bowl three: Breadcrumbs + Parmesan + garlic powder + Italian seasoning + salt & pepper

3. Bread the Eggplant:

Coat each eggplant stick gently in flour → dip in egg → coat in breadcrumb aggregate.

Press breadcrumbs lightly so that they stick well.

4. Bake or Fry:

Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place fries on a parchment-covered baking sheet, gently drizzle with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Bake 20–25 minutes, flipping midway, until golden and crispy.

Air Fryer: Preheat to four hundred°F (2 hundred°C). Cook fries for 12–15 minutes, shaking midway.

 Pan-fry: Heat 2–three tbsp olive oil in a pan. Fry fries in batches till golden and crispy, 2–3 mins in keeping with aspect.

5. Serve:

Sprinkle greater Parmesan and clean parsley on top if favored.

Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.

💡 Tips for Extra Crispy Fries:

Use panko breadcrumbs in preference to ordinary; they provide a lighter crunch.

Avoid overcrowding in the oven or air fryer—area allows them crisp.

If you want, I also can give a tacky model with mozzarella melted inner for that actual “Eggplant Parmesan” sense in each chew—type of like tacky sticks however with eggplant. Do you want me to do that.
