    These were surprisingly good! I was skeptical, but they turned out crispy and flavorful. My kids even loved them!

    I added a little cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture for a kick. Definitely a keeper recipe!

  • Clovis Gerhold

    Make sure to pat the eggplant really dry. Otherwise, the fries can be a bit soggy.

    I used gluten-free breadcrumbs, and they turned out great! A perfect gluten-free snack.
