EGGPLANT PARM PENNE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Spread the eggplant on the prepared baking sheet and season with the salt. Let sit for 20-30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
• While the eggplant drains, add the bread crumbs and flour to 2 separate small bowls. Beat the eggs in a third small bowl.
• Pat the eggplant dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece of eggplant in the flour to coat thoroughly, shaking off any excess. Dip each piece in the eggs, then coat in the bread crumbs, pressing to adhere.
• Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the eggplant to the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined sheet tray to drain.
