Steps:
- Put the cornstarch, the egg beaten with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the bread crumbs in separate small dishes. Dredge each eggplant slice in the cornstarch, coating it thoroughly and shaking off the excess, coat it with the egg mixture, and dredge it in the bread crumbs, pressing on the crumbs to make them adhere. Transfer the eggplant as it is coated to paper towels and let it dry slightly. In a deep heavy skillet fry the eggplant slices in batches in 1/2 inch of 375°F. oil for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden brown, and transfer them with tongs to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle the eggplant lightly with the additional salt and serve it with the lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Use a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven to ensure the eggplant is evenly browned and crispy.
- Make sure the oil is hot before adding the eggplant slices. This will help prevent sticking and ensure an even golden-brown color.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggplant slices from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Season the eggplant slices with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
- Serve crispy fried eggplant as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It can be paired with various dipping sauces, such as tahini, hummus, or tzatziki.
