Deep Fried Eggplant (Aubergine) image

This recipe started out as an Emeril Lagasse, but I've altered it quite a bit to suit our tastes. My kids call this "eggplant chips"! We dip these in marinara sauce.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler eggplant recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggplant didn't turn out crispy. It was still tasty, though.

The eggplant was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
