Ingredients

• 1 large Eggplant
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray.

Step 2

Slice the eggplant into thin rounds approximately 1/4-inch thick, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.

Step 3

Lay the eggplant slices on a paper towel, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry with another paper towel.

Step 4

In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and place the Parmesan-panko mixture in the third bowl.

Step 6

Dip each eggplant slice first into the flour, ensuring an even coat. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the slice into the beaten eggs. Lastly, press the slice into the Parmesan-panko mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Place the breaded slices onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top of the breaded eggplant slices or lightly spray them with additional cooking spray for a crispier texture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip each slice and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Eggplant Parmesan Chips cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a standalone snack or pair with marinara sauce for dipping.
