Step 1
Cut 2-3 eggplants into finger-sized sticks. Fill a large bowl with water and add a pinch of salt, then soak the eggplant pieces in it for about 20 minutes.
Step 2
After soaking, pat the eggplants dry with paper towels and transfer them to a clean bowl.
Step 3
Add a little oil, one beaten egg, garlic powder, cumin, pepper, oregano, salt, breadcrumbs, and some chopped coriander leaves to the eggplants. Mix everything gently until well combined.
Step 4
Spread the coated eggplant sticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (about 400°F) for 15 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy.
Step 6
Serve them hot and enjoy!
Perfect Side Pairings
Serve these with a side of marinara sauce or a cool yogurt dip for added flavor. They also pair well with a fresh salad or can be enjoyed on their own as a tasty appetizer.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain their crunch instead of using a microwave.
