Good stuff!  My eight year old made this.  She loves eggplant!

We didn't have Italian dressing, so we dipped it in melted EB and added some extra seasoning to the bread crumbs.

omg! thank you for this recipe! i've been trying to find a way to veganize my dad's eggplant parmesan, & this sounds awesome! i've tried before replacing the egg-dip with soymilk, and it's come out ok, but not as good as the original. i'll definitely try it with the salad dressing, & let you know how it comes out. yay!

This is amazing and my first try at cooking eggplant. I never liked it in the past after having a bad experience at *whispers* olive garden in my non vegan days and then another bad one with egg! Yuck. After that, I  never touched the stuff but thought that I'd give it another chance and it turned out amazing, I topped it with my favorite pasta sauce and it was great. I made the Italian Salad dressing and found it less messy than expected. Thank you!

Being the queen of sandwiches, I put a slice or two of this between two slices of sesame Ezekial bread spread with hummus, and then top it with fire roasted chopped tomatoes. One of my favorites!

This was pretty good, but is the eggplant supposed to be soft?  I was expecting it to be crispy so that through me off.  I kept them in the oven for closer to 20 minutes and they never got crispy.

It was my first time trying eggplant, so just wondering!

Thanks

I usually cook them longer, probably more like 30 min - or until they are brown. See if this helps!

They turned out much better with the increased cooking time, thanks for the tip!

To my surprise this simple ingredient recipe was phenomenal!!!!!! My non-vegan bf thought it was amazing! I paired the eggplant with marinara sauce and vegan parmesan on....

Thanks for this recipe!!!!

I've never cooked eggplant before... I don't think I've eaten eggplant before... does this HAVE to be peeled?  A couple of the pictures look like the skin was left on...  Thanks in advance for any help, can't wait to try this!  =)

I've never peeled an eggplant. The skin gives it texture (and flavor). I think the only time I would peel it, is if it was REALLY huge (and probably tough), or I knew it would be bitter.
