FRIED EGGPLANT PARMESAN

Fried Eggplant Parmesan image

My dad made me eggplant parm one night and I thought, Hmm, I wonder if this would be good as a fried dish. Take this as a State Fair-style spin on a classically iconic Italian staple. This dish is quick and easy, and something anyone can do. You may think teens are lazy, but they'll come to life making this dish.

Ingredients

canola oil for frying
2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3 large eggs, beaten
1 eggplant, peeled and sliced
1 (13.5 ounce) jar roasted garlic flavored spaghetti sauce (such as Ragu® Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce)
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Heat canola oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Mix bread crumbs, flour, and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese together in a bowl. Place eggs in a small bowl.
Dip eggplant slices in the eggs, then the bread crumb mixture. Drop into oil a few slices at a time until breading turns golden brown, about 2 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Heat spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
