Not Fried Eggplant
- MAKES
- 30 to 35 pieces
- COOK TIME
- 30 Min
Our Not Fried Eggplant takes the hard work and the frying pan out of making this favorite Italian go-along. Our baked eggplant version is a healthy option you'll love.
What You'll Need
- 1 medium to large eggplant
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Slice eggplant into 1/2-inch slices, then into 1-inch strips.
- In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, cheese, salt, and pepper. Place oil in a shallow dish; add eggplant strips and toss to coat.
- Then toss strips in bread crumb mixture and place on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake about 20 minutes, then turn and bake an additional 5 minutes, until golden brown.
Notes
Serve with sour cream and chives, if desired.

I wonder how this would be with "fried" green tomatoes I love them and this would really cut down on oil and frying also zucchini sticks would be great I grow tomatoes and zucchini in my tiny garden every summer Can't wit till summer

We have another recipe on our site called Fiery Zucchini Fries. It's a similar method to this one. We have not tried it with yellow squash, so we can not guarantee the results, but you can certainly give it a try. Good luck and enjoy!
