Yield Makes 6 (hors d'oeuvre) servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons confectioners sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb thin Asian eggplant (2 inches in diameter; about 2 medium), trimmed
About 3 cups vegetable oil
Special Equipment
an adjustable-blade slicer; a deep-fat thermometer; a large sieve

Steps:

  • Stir together confectioners sugar, cornstarch, panko, and salt in a wide shallow bowl. Cut eggplant crosswise into paper-thin rounds with slicer.
  • Fill a deep 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) halfway with oil and heat over moderate heat until it registers 360°F on thermometer.
  • Dredge one fourth of slices in cornstarch mixture, tossing until thoroughly coated and lightly pressing to help coating adhere, then gently shake in sieve to remove excess.
  • Fry coated slices in oil, turning and separating with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer eggplant chips with a wire-mesh or slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then season lightly with salt. Coat and fry remaining slices in 3 batches in same manner, returning oil to 360°F between batches. Chips will crisp as they cool. Serve at room temperature.

I love these chips! They're so easy to make, and they're a healthier alternative to potato chips. I always have a batch of these on hand for snacks.

These chips were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.

These chips were a little too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These chips were amazing! I was hesitant to try them at first, but I'm so glad I did. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the flavor was out of this world.
