For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the bread crumbs.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve optimal crispiness. If the eggplant soaks up too much oil, the temperature is too low.
Serve with a sprinkle of sea salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
Consider serving with a marinara sauce or a creamy dipping sauce.
