Fried Eggplant

Crispy, golden, and full of flavor, these fried eggplant slices are a deliciously simple snack or side dish that’s sure to impress. Thinly sliced eggplant is coated in a light, seasoned batter made with flour, starch, black pepper, and a touch of baking powder for extra crispiness. The key to perfection? A slightly thick batter ensures a satisfying crunch, while frying over low heat keeps the coating golden without burning. Soaked beforehand for tenderness, the eggplant fries up with a melt-in-your-mouth texture inside and a crispy exterior. Paired with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of black pepper, each bite is savory and addictive. Quick to make and even quicker to disappear, these fried eggplant slices are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or side—great for dipping or enjoying on their own!
