Instructions

Vegan and Non-Vegan Directions

  • Toss the cut up egg plant in a bowl with some pink salt- leave that while setting up.
  • Set up 2 plates. One with breadcrumbs and spices mixed in. The other with just the egg whites.
  • Dip them in egg whites, then roll around in bread crumbs and place on pan lined with parchment paper . Set oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 15-20m. Turning half way through. I like mine a little extra crunchy so I left it in there for 20m. And then I dipped them in cashew cheeze and also marinara sauce. SOOOOO good.
