Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

2
Prepare the eggplant

Wash the eggplants and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the eggplant slices on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture, then pat dry with paper towels.

3
Prepare the breading station

Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. In another dish, beat the eggs until well combined. In a third dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper.

4
Bread the eggplant slices

Dip each eggplant slice into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres.

5
Arrange the eggplant rings

Place the breaded eggplant rings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Brush the tops of the eggplant rings with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

6
Bake the eggplant rings

Bake the eggplant rings for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.

7
Serve

Remove the eggplant rings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch dressing. Enjoy the crispy, flavorful, and healthier version of fried eggplant!
