Baked Creole Eggplant Fries with Creole Remoulade Dipping Sauce ~ a delicious healthy snack that will satisfy your crunch craving!

Baked Creole Eggplant Fries

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 3 - 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the breading:

  • 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs or crushed rice chex (or a mix of the two … for gluten free, use rice chex)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (I used Tony Chacheres)
  • 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon cayenne

For the fries:

  • 1 eggplant or 2 – 3 japanese eggplant, peeled
  • 1 – 2 eggs
  • Cooking spray or oil

For dipping: Creole Remoulade sauce (recipe here)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and/or coat with oil. (I do both.)
  2. In a flat bowl, mix together the breading ingredients and set aside. Peel the eggplant, then cut into long skinny fry-like shapes about 1/2 inch thick and 2 – 4 inches long.
  3. Put the egg into another flat bowl and whisk until well mixed. Working left to right, set the eggplant “fries” on the left, then the bowl with the egg, then the crumbs and set the prepared baking sheet on your right.
  4. Use your left hand to grab a piece of eggplant and roll it around in the egg to coat, then set it in the bowl of crumbs. Use your right hand to sprinkle the breading over the eggplant, then flip it and dust the other side with more crumbs until it is fully coated. Set on the prepared pan.
  5. Repeat with the rest of the eggplant pieces, leaving a little space between the “fries” until they are all gone. Spray the tops with oil or cooking spray or drizzle with a little oil.
  6. Set the pan in the oven to bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until the crumbs are nicely browned. While the fries are cooking, make the creole remoulade. Enjoy hot with the creole dipping sauce or freeze for later.

Notes

To freeze the fries: set them on a baking sheet in the oven. Once frozen, put them in a bag. To reheat: spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or coat with oil. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Set the fries on the baking sheet, spray or drizzle with oil and bake for about 10 minutes or until crunchy.
