1

After cutting the eggplant lengthwise into ½ inch slices, place them in a single layer on a baking tray lined with a clean towel or paper towel. Sprinkle the top of the eggplant slices with salt and allow them to sit for 30 minutes.

2

While the eggplant sits, mix together the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, garlic powder, sesame seeds, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper.

3

When the time is almost up on the eggplant, combine the 2 tablespoons of flax with ½ cup of water and let sit for five minutes. Get your breading station ready by placing the flax egg in a shallow bowl or plate and the breadcrumbs in a separate bowl or plate. Turn on the oven at this time as well.

4

Bread the eggplant by first dipping the slice of eggplant in the flax egg. Turn over to get both sides as well as the edges. Shake off any large clumps of flax egg.

5

Then dip eggplant slices into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down slightly so they stick. Flip over and repeat on the other side and don’t forget to get the edges too.

6

Place each piece of breaded eggplant in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet that’s lined with parchment and lightly brushed with oil. Repeat with the remaining eggplant until all of it is breaded.

7

Transfer your baking sheet to a hot oven and cook for 10-12 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and flip over the eggplant. Return the pan to the oven and cook another 10-12 minutes. Both sides of the eggplant should be golden brown and crispy, cook longer if needed.
