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.

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.

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

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.

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.
