Crispy baked eggplant is a lighter oven-baked dish made with sliced eggplant coated in a seasoned crumb mixture and baked until golden, crunchy on the outside, and tender on the inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium eggplants, sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Wash the eggplants, trim the ends, and slice into even rounds.
  3. Lightly salt the eggplant slices and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk or water.
  5. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and seasonings.
  6. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg mixture, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
  7. Arrange slices in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
  8. Lightly drizzle or spray with olive oil.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes, flip slices, then bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and crispy.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure crispiness.
  • Use a wire rack for extra airflow if available.
  • Serve right after baking for best texture.
  • Season immediately after baking for extra flavor.
