Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the eggplant thoroughly and pat it dry.
- Cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick slices. (You can leave the skin on or peel it, depending on your preference.)
- Lay the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle the slices with a pinch of salt and let them sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Using a brush or a spoon, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise salad dressing on both sides of each eggplant slice.
- Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
- Press each mayonnaise-coated eggplant slice into the bread crumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.
- Arrange the breaded eggplant slices back on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggplant slices are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even baking.
- Remove the baked eggplant from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. For added flavor, consider serving with a dipping sauce, such as marinara, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
Tips:
- Choose a fresh and firm eggplant to ensure the best taste and texture.
- If you have extra time, soaking the eggplant slices in salted water for 30 minutes before baking can help reduce bitterness.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the bread crumbs for a customized flavor.
- For a healthier option, use a low-fat or light mayonnaise.
