Oven-Baked Fried Eggplant

If like me you love fried eggplant but the thought of them swimming in oil makes you think twice, this oven-baked fried eggplant recipe is for you! Much less oil than deep-frying for a surprisingly similar result!

Oven-Baked Fried Eggplant

Ingredients

Check off ingredients as you go

  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 1 level tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 level tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil (sunflower)
  1. In a large bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients. Peel and cut the eggplants into cubes and add them to the bowl, mixing well to coat the eggplant pieces.
  2. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Arrange the eggplant on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 35 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking. If they seem to be drying out during cooking, add a drizzle of oil and mix well.

Serve with your kémias or with pita, tahini sauce, and homemade falafels.
