Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant washed, and sliced into ⅛ to ¼ inch slices
  • 2 cups Italian-flavored panko
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ½  teaspoon salt plus additional salt for sprinkling
  • Tzaziki yogurt dip

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking pan with parchment. 
  • Line the bottom of a 9 X13" casserole dish with a double layer of paper towels.
  • Put eggplant slices, about 3-4 slices wide, in the dish until first layer is full.
  • Sprinkle eggplant lightly with salt, and top with a paper towel.
  • Continue this process, layering the eggplant and paper towels, until all of the eggplant is arranged. Top the final layer with a paper towel, and let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
  • Put panko, parsley and thyme in a shallow baking dish and stir to combine.
  • Put milk, eggs, and salt into another shallow baking dish and whisk to thoroughly combine.
  • Once the eggplant is ready, use the paper towel atop each layer to soak up any extra liquid from the vegetables.
  • Once slice at a time, dip both sides of the eggplant in the egg mixture, and then panko, evenly coating each side and pressing breadcrumb mixture into each side as needed.
  • Shake slice gently over breadcrumb mixture, then place slices in one layer on parchment-lined baking sheet until sheet is full.
  • Bake the slices for 10 minutes, then flip each slice and bake for 10 more minutes, or until edges are crispy and beginning to brown.
  • Serve chips warm with Tzaziki yogurt dip.
