Notes
- Prep ahead of time. Coat the eggplant slices a few hours ahead of time and keep them covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to fry them up.
- STORE. Leftover crispy fried eggplant can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- To reheat. Reheat them in the microwave. If you have a little more time, they are best when reheated in the oven that way the outside can crisp up a bit.
