baked eggplant fries

Air fryer eggplant is a healthy, easy alternative to deep fried eggplant. The air fryer makes the eggplant fries nice and crispy, just like a deep fryer, but since it uses a fraction of the oil, it is much healthier for your entire family so you can feel good enjoying a wholesome treat.

Air Fryer Crispy Eggplant 🎥

These simple baked eggplant fries are the perfect snack or appetizer. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside! Delicious with Tzatziki!

Baked Eggplant Fries with Greek Tzatziki Sauce

eggplant

all-purpose flour

eggs, lightly beaten

bread crumbs

oregano

salt and pepper

Olive oil cooking spray

Homemade Tzatziki Sauce (see the recipe)

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 &#8220;fries.&#8221;

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.

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.

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

Make the Greek Tzatziki Sauce according to this recipe.

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

I made these tonight and they were so delicious! I doubled the batch so we have leftovers that I'll pop in the oven tomorrow. Yum!

This was tasty, but it was a pain to make due to the amount of fries there is to "bread". My eggplant was big ;) and larger than what you called for so it probably made more fries than your dish. It would probably be just as good just breading the rounds to decrease the time or just roast the fries without breading. I made a cilantro lime yogurt sauce to go with this.

This was quick and easy , and it hit the guilt free indulgence.  I recommended seasoning the breading really well because that is where the eggplant will get it’s flavor.  I liked serving with marinara sauce.

Really easy and yummy! I chose your recipe because it didn't look complicated.  I sorinked parmesan cheese when finished baking and dipped them in Rocky Rocco pizza sauce. A keeper recipe!

I made these for dinner and absolutely loved them. Except, I kept them in the oven for 18-20 minutes.
There is an eggplant hater in the house who you converted to an eggplant fries lover. I made an Asiago &amp; sun dried tomato tapenade as a topping. Really good! Thank you.

I baked the fries but I felt like the eggplant disappeared from inside. Did I bake too long? Or was the eggplant fries I cut too thin possibly (1/2”)?
