Gluten-free: Replace the traditional breadcrumbs with a gluten-free version.
Vegan: Use unsweetened plant-based milk instead of eggs and replace the parmesan with nutritional yeast or chopped almonds.

Spiced: Add a mix of spices such as cumin, curry or chili pepper for a more bold kick.
With seeds: Add sesame or poppy seeds to the breading for extra crunch.
FAQ
1. Can I use frozen eggplant?
Yes, but make sure to thaw them completely and dry them well before proceeding with the breading.

2. Can I cook them in the air fryer?
Absolutely! Cook them at 180°C for about 15 minutes, turning them halfway through. You will get an equally crispy result with less oil.

3. Can I prepare them in advance?
You can bread them and keep them in the refrigerator for a few hours before cooking. This will make them even crispier.

Enjoy!
