Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 2 tsp granulated onion
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Wash the eggplant. Cut off the stem and peel. Cut into 1/2" sticks and place in a medium bowl.
  • Sprinkle salt over the eggplant and toss to ensure even coverage.  Set aside for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine cornstarch with granulated onion, granulated garlic, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  • After 20 minutes, pat dry the eggplant sticks with paper towels. Transfer them to a large bowl. Sprinkle the seasoned cornstarch over the eggplant and toss well, ensuring even coverage.
  • Heat the oil to 350F. Carefully lower the eggplant into the heated oil and fry until dark golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes. Do not overcrowd. Depending on your pan size, you may have to do this in two batches.
  • Remove the fries from the oil and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Serve hot with ketchup or other dipping source of your choosing.
