Baked Fried Eggplant
vegetable cooking spray, as needed
2 medium to large eggplants, peeled and sliced into rounds
1/2-1 cup Italian salad dressing, as needed (I use fat free)
1/2-1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs, as needed
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Dip eggplant slices into the Italian dressing. Allow the excess dressing to drip off (too much dressing will wet the vegan breadcrumbs and make them a pain to work with).
2. Coat the eggplant with the vegan breadcrumbs and place on prepared cookie sheet. Lightly spray the eggplant with the vegetable spray.
3. Bake until brown and crispy turning at least once (about 10 to 15 minutes).
I like to serve the eggplant with pasta and tomato sauce, but I have been known to just eat the slices off of the cookie sheet right out of the oven!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
easy and yummy! try dipping them in your pasta sauce :) yet another fabulous recipe from vegweb! YAY!!!
omg! thank you for this recipe! i've been trying to find a way to veganize my dad's eggplant parmesan, & this sounds awesome! i've tried before replacing the egg-dip with soymilk, and it's come out ok, but not as good as the original. i'll definitely try it with the salad dressing, & let you know how it comes out. yay!
Good stuff! My eight year old made this. She loves eggplant!
We didn't have Italian dressing, so we dipped it in melted EB and added some extra seasoning to the bread crumbs.
Delicious! One of my favs :)
