Believe me is worth it I sometimes like fried foods better but eggplant soaks up so much oil that I feel sick after. Since I'm making it in the oven or in the pan with just a bit of oil I can actually taste the eggplant. I like it most in the oven as it bakes eaqaly and if I turn on the oven on a higher heat they come out very crispy (it's easy to burn them like that too 😅)

Oh yes, that was the problem I had last time! I tried to fry them and they sucked up all the oil like a sponge. The baked version sounds amazing with that crust and seed mix! I love a toasted sesame seed. And yes, things can burn so quick, but the higher heat pays off with tremendous amounts of awesome flavour if you time it perfectly!
Exactly! I really like fried potatoes in oil but eggplant or zucchini really soaks up too much fat and before the end of frying the oil is already burned because of the breadcrumbs.
Oven and watching out the temperature definitely pays off here!
Maybe one can use the eggplant and zucchini in stews to soak up all the lovely "stew juice"! 🤣
Haha then I'll deep them in chocolate! 🙈
Do they work in sweet dishes?
I never tried eggplants in a dessert but it does exist. I tried zucchinis in a few sweet dishes and they are amazing! Now that I think of it I need to try make an eggplant dessert!
I will watch out for your future post on the sweet dish with eggplant! I think it will be a winner!
