Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
-
Prepare Crumb Mixture: In a bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Prep Eggplant: Wash the eggplant thoroughly and slice it into even rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
-
Coat with Mayo: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on both sides of each eggplant slice.
-
Coat with Crumb Mixture: Dip each mayo-coated eggplant slice into the crumb mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated on both sides. Gently press the crumbs onto the eggplant to help them adhere.
-
Cut into Triangles: Cut each coated eggplant slice into quarters, creating four triangular pieces.

Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the eggplant triangles on a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for even baking.

Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms of the triangles are golden brown.

Flip and Bake Again: Carefully flip each triangle using a spatula, then return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the eggplant is tender.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Sesame Eggplant triangles from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delightful snack or alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
These Sesame Eggplant triangles are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor from the parmesan cheese and sesame seeds. Whether you’re hosting a potluck or simply craving a delicious veggie snack, this recipe is sure to please!
