Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup plain bread crumbs
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Place the flour, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together in a resealable gallon bag and shake 'em all together.

  2. Pour the oil into a big iron skillet on medium heat. Grab a handful eggplant slices and coat them in the flour mixture you just made. Add the prepped slices to the oil and cook until they're crisp and light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the slices over and continue cooking until the other side is browned as well, another 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully move the slices to a plate or cooling rack and cover them with paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices.
