How to Make Crispy Eggplant Aubergine Fingers

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel one large eggplant and cut it into 1/2-inch thick fingers.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  4. In a shallow dish, beat 2 large eggs.
  5. In another shallow dish, place 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
  6. Roll each eggplant finger in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Dip the floured eggplant finger into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
  8. Finally, roll the egg-dipped eggplant finger in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  9. Arrange the breaded eggplant fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Lightly spray the eggplant fingers with cooking oil.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  13. Serve immediately with your favorite warm marinara sauce for dipping.
