Baked Eggplant Patties

RECIPE - Baked Eggplant Patties
The Vegetarian Librarian http://www.veglib.com

1 large eggplant
1/4 cup olive oil (approximately)
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp sea salt + 1 Tbs
1/4 tsp garlic powder
fresh ground pepper

Peel eggplant in stripes longways, leaving some of the skin on. Remove ends and cut in 1" slices. Place slices in a strainer, cover with about a tablespoon of sea salt and let drain for about a half hour to remove bitterness.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, 1/2 tsp salt and spices. Place eggplant slice in breadcrumb mixture, cover evenly and tap off any extra breading. Place on a well oiled cookie sheet. Repeat until all are covered with breading. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven, flip patties, drizzle with a little more oil and bake for another 15 minutes. If slices still aren't crisp to your liking, flip the patties again and bake for another 5 minutes.

Great with pasta or for sandwiches!

I would love this recipe but its too much oil for me. If I dont use oil on top, would it be too dry?

[VegetarianLibrarian]

@Dimanta I'm not sure, but please let me know how it goes if you try. I have also heard good things about the spray bottles made to add olive or other cooking oils, which could be a way to cut the oil in this recipe.

[VegetarianLibrarian]

@jasonjohnsonexp The theme song is an awesome band called Strawberry Horsecake and the other music is an awesome artist named Mr. 666!
