Gluten Free Oven Fried Eggplant

== Ingredients ==
- 1 cup Gluten Free Panko Crumbs
- ⅓ cup Gluten Free all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 eggplant, sliced into rounds about ¼ inch thick
- Extra light olive oil
- Butter, well chilled
- Salt

== Italian Seasoning ==
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- ½ tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. dried parsley
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. dried thyme
- ½ tsp. dried rosemary
- Pepper to taste
- ½ tsp. Marjoram

== Directions ==
Take your sliced eggplant and lay the rounds out on a rack and sprinkle them with salt. Repeat the process on the other side as well. Let the eggplant sweat for about 20 to 30 minutes. This will help to pull out some moisture in the eggplant so that they will crisp up easier.

After 30 min. rinse the eggplant under running water to remove the salt. Pat the eggplant dry with paper towels.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and coat your baking pan with a light coating of olive oil.

In a wide bowl, combine the panko crumbs, flour, and all the Italian seasonings. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.

Dip a slice of eggplant into the egg mixture and then into the panko crumb mixture to coat on all sides. Then place the slice onto your prepared baking sheet. Continue doing this until the pan is full. Be sure not to crowd the pieces so they can brown up properly.

Shave paper thin slices of butter on top of each piece of eggplant. Place in the oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Turn the slices over half way through the cooking time.

You can garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

I have cooking eggplant into my Greek traditional recipes for years. Always in sauce with rice ect so this was a welcome change and I absolutely loved it. I cut them a little thicker, cooked them a little longer and they were moist and tender inside. Very much like they were fried. I Agree with Chris and plan on using it for a base for a casserole type dish for eggplant parmesan. Thank You Robin!

Made it today and we both loved it! It is one of the few recipes that we can honestly say we like eggplant! It's an easy recipe and turned out the first time. We are saving it and will definitely make it again and again! Thank you. So glad we found your video.

I'm still making eggplant this way. I just cut down my eggplants out of the garden and there were tons of eggplants in there for a giant harvest. I have the cutlets in the oven now. Can't wait. Love this recipe.

[mikenicholson]

I never would have thought of butter on top. That sounds delicious. I'm trying this right now.

[noramendoza]

I made this tonight and they turned out really good! I just added a tad bit of salt after they were done. Very crunchy Thanks for this recipe! :)

[janellrenee]

I made these! They were so yummy!! Totally addicting. Thank you for the great recipe. I had never let my eggplant sweat before. Such a great tip. The texture was much better.

[mackjones]

Tried this for a second time and baked for 40min and that made all the difference, so good and crunchy, thanks for sharing

[carolynseidl]

This is by far the best crunchy eggplant recipe that I have found after long it isn't oil laden! Thank You so MUCH! Love your recipes

Thank you for this recipe.I love eggplant and since I am trying to loose weight this is perfect.Also thank you for taking the time to give the Italian seasoning measurements.

[Luvstrukme]

This is my new favorite recipe! I made these for dinner but couldn’t stop snacking after. So delicious! Thanks!

[davidholiday]

Lovely recipe - will definitely try it. My mother was Italian and used to cook eggplant all the time. I can't count the number of times I was sent to bed because I hated it and refused to eat it. Now - many, many years later it is one of my very favorite vegetables!!! Thank you!!!

[Lelliott]

Hi Robin, I made this yesterday and ate like I was starving! Never had eggplant so good, EVER! Thank you❤️

[carolyndistante]

Delicious !! I’ve been making this once a week. My family loves the crispness, and enjoy having “non soggy” eggplant and tomato sandwiches.

[Ambimom]

A day late and a dollar short I know, but I made these tonight. Absolutely delicious! Thanks. I couldn't believe how crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside with excellent flavor.

Hi Robin, I love this recipe. It really makes a difference in taste and with hardly any oil. Thanks!!

I’ve been trying to find a recipe that reminded me of the crispy texture of these Parmesan eggplant slices I had outside of Vatican City for 6 years!! Every other recipe was soggy or limp… THIS IS PERFECT!!
