The fries were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was on point. Next time I'll try cooking them for a few minutes less.

I was skeptical at first, but these eggplant fries turned out amazing! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious Parmesan flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
