# How To Make It:

03 - Whisk together eggs and milk in a shallow bowl until combined.
04 - Combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt in another bowl.
05 - Dip each eggplant slice into the egg wash, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere coating.
06 - Place coated eggplant slices in a single layer on prepared sheets and lightly spray tops with olive oil.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, flip each slice, then bake an additional 10 to 12 minutes until crisp and golden.
08 - Allow chips to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The satisfying crunch rivals any potato chip but feels lighter and more wholesome
  • They disappear from the serving plate faster than you can bake the next batch
02 -
  • Overcrowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to end up with soggy instead of crispy chips
  • A convection oven or a quick finish under the broiler creates restaurant-level crunch
03 -
  • Pat the eggplant dry thoroughly, any moisture left on the surface prevents proper crisping
  • Let them cool on a wire rack instead of the baking sheet so steam can escape from underneath
