Comment préparer Deep Fried Eggplant Aubergine
- Prepare your dredging stations: In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, the whisked eggs with ½ teaspoon salt, and the breadcrumbs mixed with the remaining seasonings.
- Slice the eggplant: Cut the eggplant into ¼-inch thick slices, then quarter each slice lengthwise.
- Dredge the eggplant: Thoroughly coat each eggplant piece in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Egg wash and bread: Dip the floured eggplant into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press each piece firmly into the breadcrumbs, making sure they adhere well.
- Let them rest: Transfer the breaded eggplant to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to allow excess moisture to drain for about 5-10 minutes.
- Heat the oil: In a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot, heat ½ to ¾ inch of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature accurately.
- Fry in batches: Carefully add the eggplant slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for approximately 1 minute per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and season: Remove the fried eggplant with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt (if desired) while still warm.
- Serve immediately: Serve these delicious eggplant chips hot with your favorite marinara sauce or dipping sauce of choice.
