Baked Eggplant Fries with Greek Tzatziki Sauce

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2

First, cut the eggplant into 1-inch rounds. Sprinkle with salt and set aside for 20 minutes (the eggplant will sweat out any bitterness). Pat dry.  Now cut the eggplant slices into even-sized batons or “fries.”

Step 3

Dredge the eggplant fries into the flour. Next, dip them in the eggs, then coat them with a mixture of the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.

Step 4

Prepare a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Spray the wire rack with olive oil cooking spray. Now arrange the eggplant fries on top of the wire rack. Spray the eggplant fries with a little olive oil cooking spray.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated 425 degrees F oven for 10 minutes or until the eggplant fries are golden and crisp.

Step 6

Make the Greek Tzatziki Sauce according to this recipe.

Step 7

Serve the eggplant fries hot or warm with the Tzatziki sauce or a side of marinara. Enjoy!
