Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • oil for frying
  • 1 eggplant, cut into 1/8-inch slices

Method

  • Shake flour, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag.
  • Pour oil into a large iron skillet over medium heat. Coat a handful eggplant slices with the flour mixture. Add to the hot oil; cook until crisp and light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove slices carefully and move to a plate or cooling rack; cover with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices.
