Today I prepared an absolutely non-seasonal side dish but I was craving eggplant, so here are the parmesan breaded eggplant rings, not too high in calories, which I served with a nice grilled beef steak!
The eggplant is a typically summer vegetable used for many dishes, even for desserts: a typical recipe from Campanian cuisine is chocolate eggplant, which I confess I have never made or even tasted!
The eggplant must be cooked because if eaten raw it contains a considerable amount of solanine, a toxic glycoalkaloid also found in potatoes and tomatoes.

FOR PREPARING THE RECIPE PARMESAN BREADED EGGPLANT RINGS
Wash and remove the ends of the eggplant, and cut it into rings about 3/8 inch (1 cm) thick.
In a bowl, finely chop the garlic clove, add the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Mix well for an even breading.
Dip each eggplant ring in the beaten egg, then in the breading, pressing a bit to compact the breading on the vegetable.
Line the bottom of a baking tray with parchment paper and brush it with extra virgin olive oil.
Place the eggplant rings on the baking tray lined with parchment paper, season with salt and pepper.
Bake at 392°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes, turning the rings after about 20 minutes for even cooking.
Ready to taste, maybe with a nice salad to cleanse the palate!
Enjoy your meal!Annalisa
