Vegan Fried Eggplant

Jump to Recipe
Fried Eggplant Sticks
Nom Yourself, by Mary Mattern, is going to be released in just a few days, and I have a sneak peek ready here for you today!

Creating and celebrating American food with a vegan twist that’s appealing to both vegans and the veg-curious, Nom Yourself presents an array of decadent and creative comfort food, like Half-Baked Macaroni and Cheese, BBQ Seitan Skewers, Sweet Potato Waffle Sandwich, Roasted Garlic Parm Carrots and Whisky Lady Cupcakes.

What I like best about Mary’s style is that she doesn’t use a ton of ingredients, all of her recipes are very easy to follow and are mostly built around fresh produce, nuts and grains.

Nom Yourself, by Mary Mattern

What I tried first from Nom Yourself is Mary’s Fried Eggplant Sticks. Super-decadent, this appetizer mimics the creaminess of mozzarella, and is surrounded by a crispy panko shell that holds up well after a drag through some marinara or kale pesto. Sound good? Read on!

The kind folks over at Avery/Penguin Random House have not only allowed me to share the recipe here, but are also offering a free copy of Nom Yourself to one reader through this post!

Mozzarella sticks are the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizers. Who doesn’t love a snack you can dip?

My favorite vegetable has always been eggplant, and it turns out that when eggplant is breaded and fried, it makes a perfect creamy filling, even better than mozzarella.

Zucchini sticks are great as well, but they tend to fall apart more often than not. So I’ve found that eggplant works best for an irresistible vegan twist on a favorite that everyone will want to eat by the plateful. This appetizer is by far my personal chef clients’ favorite.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ½ Peanut oil, for frying teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large eggplant, peeled and sliced into sticks

Instructions

  1. Place the flour in one bowl and the almond milk in another bowl.
  2. In a third bowl, mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and kosher salt.
  3. Place the bowls next to one another in this order: flour, almond milk, bread crumbs.
  4. Add enough peanut oil to a large skillet to have the oil ½ inch deep. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Use a deep fry candy thermometer.
  5. Dip each stick of eggplant in the flour, then the almond milk, then the bread crumbs.
  6. Place the eggplant sticks in the hot oil and cook until golden brown, around 45 seconds. You may need to turn them depending on how hot your oil is.
  7. Place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain off the excess oil.
  8. Serve with Kale Pesto (recipe in cookbook) or marinara sauce.

    Can't lie. We make vegan macaroni and cheese at least once a month and it's our go-to dish for potlucks. In fact, I am making a HUGE batch to bring to a "Real Men Cook" event this year.

    My favorite American comfort food is definitely grilled cheese. Diaya, rosemary, and fried vegan bologna– diagonal cut of course, dipped in Frank's hot sauce.

    Another favorite comfort food has always been Thai Massaman curry for me.

    Casseroles are my favorite! Growing up I always loved green bean and mushroom casserole the most. I've been dreaming of a gooey, (vegan) cheesy, crunchy-on-the-top mushroom and squash casserole for autumn. I'll see what I can whip up with the help of my soon to be new favorite cookbook, Nom Yourself 😉

    My mom's homemade vegan "beef" tacos are my absolute favorite comfort food. My husband and I relocated for his job so my mom makes them for me every time I come for a visit and I associate them now with home and love. Add a Margarita and some vegan Mac on the side and it's heaven. My ig handle is tac0_flavored_kisses and my email is Samantha.Munoz@gmail.com

    I would love this cookbook for my family. They are big on cheese and dairy so I feel like I always need to cook comfort food to win their hearts, so I think the book would have some great options! My favorite comfort food would be calzones, it is weird one, but there has been many childhood Sunday making a calzone. I've made a great vegan version so I don't miss it anymore.
