Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Eggplant
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Place the eggplant slices on a large plate or tray and sprinkle them evenly with salt on both sides. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Pat the slices dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.
Brush each eggplant slice lightly with the seasoned olive oil on both sides.
Dip each slice into the Parmesan and panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks evenly.
Place the coated slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy!
