Tater-Dipped Eggplant

Eggplant is battered and breaded with instant mashed potato flakes then browned in the oven until tender. Since I tried this method, we never serve eggplant any other way.

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt butter in a shallow baking dish in the oven while it is preheating.

Step: 2

In a small bowl, mix together the egg, salt and pepper. Dip slices of eggplant into the egg mixture, then dip into the potato flakes to coat. Place the coated slices of eggplant into the hot buttered dish.

Step: 3

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until tender, turning once after 10 minutes.

The most obvious way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. When you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
