As some of you know I am on dialysis, and with it comes some pretty staunch restrictions. So that means I need to get a little creative with my food (some of you may have noticed).
I wanted more than anything to have french fries, but alas potatoes are on the DO NOT EAT list. So I decided to try these eggplant "fries" instead.
First things first. Procure and secure your star.
Next peel and cut your eggplant into fry-like pieces.
Take an egg and beat it like Michael would.
Pro tip - if you're looking to go all vegan with it (ahem
) substitute the egg with 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1 tbs dijon mustard.
Now for the crunch. Combine:
- 1 1/2 cup of cornmeal
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp of paprika
Now get dipping!! First the egg, then the cornmeal.
Line them up on a greased cookie sheet and pop them into a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 25 mins. Flip them at the 15 minute mark for golden perfection.
And that's it! Golden, crispy, eggplant fries. These were not potato fries, but still not half bad.
Also full disclosure. I did do a youtube video on this for all of my kidney friends there. Watch it if you want!
Again thanks to
