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.
