Crispy eggplant fingers are easy to make, crunchy and delicious. You can serve them as an evening snack or a party appetiser. While I found the baked version better, you can fry them too. Enjoy it just like that or with an Italian dip like marinara or hot and sweet chilli sauce.

1 medium Eggplant cut into finger size strips Salt to taste

1 teaspoon Pepper 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

1 teaspoon Oregano dried 1 teaspoon Chilli flakes

1 teaspoon Onion powder 1 teaspoon Thyme

1 teaspoon Basil dried 0.5 Cup Rice flour

1 Cup Bread crumbs 2 teaspoon grated Kraft cheese

1 Egg beaten Oil for deep frying

Cooking Steps

Preparation

Step 1 :

Place the eggplant fingers in a colander. Sprinkle salt on them and keep aside for 30 minutes. This helps reduce the moisture content in the eggplants. Wash and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2 :

Meanwhile, put salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, chilli flakes, onion powder, thyme, basil in a blender and blend together.

Step 3 :

Mix this spice mixture and cheese with bread crumbs.

Step 4 :

Spread rice flour on a plate. Put the eggplant fingers on it and toss till they are coated with the flour.

Step 5 :

Beat an egg with a tbsp of milk in a bowl.

Step 6 :

Spread the bread crumb mixture on a plate.

Step 7 :

Dip the eggplants in egg first after shaking off the excess rice flour. Then roll gently in the bread crumbs.

Step 8 :

Keep the rolled eggplants in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Pour 1 inch of oil into a pan. When the oil is hot, put the eggplant pieces in the oil, and fry till golden brown.

Step 9 : Baking:

Spray some oil on a baking sheet. Place the breaded eggplants on the sheet and spray some oil. Bake at 360ºF for 10-15 minutes.

Step 10 :

Serve hot with your favourite sauce.
