Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F with a rack in the middle of the oven.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and coat with a light coating of avocado oil spray.

Peel eggplant and cut into sticks (about ½-inch thick) to create the fries.

Prepare dredging station by whisking 2 eggs in a shallow bowl and placing Paleo Powder Breadless Breading in a second bowl.

Dip eggplant sticks into egg, coating well. Drain off excess liquid and toss in breadless breading to coat. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet, and repeat until all of the eggplant is coated.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remove, flip and return to the oven for an additional 12 minutes, until crispy.

Serve with marinara sauce, as desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Salt Your Eggplant Early 🧂
Slice eggplant and salt both sides generously 15-20 minutes before breading to draw out excess moisture, ensuring a crispier exterior and preventing a soggy texture.
Double-Dip Breading Technique 🥚
Dip eggplant in beaten egg, then breadless breading, then back in egg, then breading again for an extra-thick, ultra-crispy crust that rivals traditional fried versions.
Oil Spray Application Matters 💨
Apply avocado oil spray in two passes—once before baking and once halfway through—ensuring even browning and maximum crispness without excessive oil.
Proper Eggplant Selection 🍆
Choose smaller, younger eggplants with thinner skin and fewer seeds, as they absorb less moisture and bake to a creamier interior while maintaining structural integrity.
Elevated Cooling Strategy ❄️
Place baked fries on a wire rack immediately after cooking rather than a plate to allow air circulation underneath, preventing condensation and maintaining crispness until serving.
