101 ways to eat eggplant - crispy grilled eggplant strips
Overview
My mother bought two crisp, tender and fresh little eggplants from the supermarket. They made me greedy. No, I can’t let my mother mix these eggplants with garlic and steam them! Recently I started to lose weight again. I miss the crispy fries but I don’t dare to eat them. So Mr. Eggplant, roll them in the bread crumbs and put them in the oven! Waaaaaaaaah!

Ingredients
Steps
-
Cut the eggplant into strips as thick as your fingers (if you have long and slender fingers... of course, cut them thicker~)
-
Two eggs with a pinch of salt and a little black pepper
-
The large portion is bread crumbs with black pepper powder, bell pepper powder, onion salt, and garlic powder from left to right. If you like spicy food, you can add more pepper or chili powder. Bell pepper powder looks bright red but has no taste at all. The reason for using it is to make the baked color look good
-
Dip the cut eggplant strips into the beaten egg liquid first and then wrap a layer of bread crumbs mixed with the seasoning. "Dip a chopstick into the egg liquid and use clean and dry hands to wrap the bread crumbs. The bread crumbs will clump together when wet and the eggplant strips will not hang on. If you want the eggplant strips to be crispier, you can dip them in starch before wrapping them in the egg liquid"
-
Start by setting the oven to "Bake" 400℉ and let the oven preheat. After preheating, place the eggplant strips on a baking sheet lined with oil paper. Use a small spoon to spread a little oil on the surface of the eggplant strips. It would be better if you have baking spray. Spray a thin layer of eggplant strips on them and bake them until they are golden brown. Don’t be too attractive! Then put it in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. "I baked it for 20 minutes and then adjusted the grill to the highest level and simmered it for a while. This will make the eggplant strips crispier." If it is not salty enough, you can dip it in tomato sauce or soy sauce! It's delicious, satisfies cravings, and doesn't make you fat. It's also effective in coaxing children to eat vegetables!
