  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

Eggplant

  • Preheat the over to 400° F. Prepare a baking sheet --lightly oiled, or silicone mat, or parchment paper.
  • Slice the eggplant, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Mix the flour, milk, and cornstarch together in one bowl.
  • Mix the panko, parm, basil, oregano, and salt in a second bowl.
  • Dunk each slice of eggplant in the flour/milk bowl, then the breadcrumbs bowl, and place it on the baking sheet.
  • Bake 25 minutes.

Vegan Parm

  • Place all ingredients in a food processor and blitz until it's a fine meal with some nutty bits.
  • Transfer to a jar. Refrigerate to keep fresh.

Notes

For a sandwich, place 2-3 slices on a crusty roll, drizzle with warmed marinara sauce and sprinkle with extra parm. I like to add a little shredded cabbage for crunch but that's just me!
