Ingredients

  • 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 sandwich rolls or slices of bread
  • Lettuce, tomato, and avocado for topping
  • Vegan mayo or your favorite sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggplant: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the eggplants and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, pour the plant-based milk. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bread the Eggplant: Dip each eggplant slice first in flour, then in plant-based milk, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake: Bake the eggplant slices for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread vegan mayo on the bread, layer with crispy eggplant, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Top with another slice of bread or roll.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your crispy eggplant sandwiches warm, accompanied by your favorite side.
