Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggplants, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying
  • 3 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
  • Extra grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggplant: Slice and season the eggplants with salt, let sit for 15 minutes, then pat dry.
  2. Coating Setup: Prepare bowls with flour, beaten eggs, and a breadcrumb mixture with Parmesan and spices.
  3. Bread the Eggplant: Dredge slices in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Cook the Eggplant: Heat olive oil in a skillet and pan fry the eggplant for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  5. Make the Sauce: Sauté onion in olive oil, add garlic, then blend in roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  6. Simmer the Sauce: Return to heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Spread sauce on a plate, top with eggplant, and garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, double coat the eggplant slices.
  • Bake instead of frying at 200°C for a lighter version.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
  • Swap Parmesan with plant-based cheese for a vegan-friendly dish.
