Baked eggplant fries coated in parmesan cheese have a rich history rooted in Mediterranean cuisine. This delectable dish originated in Italy, where chefs sought to create a healthier alternative to traditional fries. The eggplant's mild flavor and meaty texture make it a perfect candidate for this innovative recipe. Renowned chefs in the Campania region, such as Gennaro Contaldo, have perfected this dish, infusing it with their culinary expertise. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in authentic Italian trattorias, where chefs meticulously select the freshest eggplants and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The key to achieving the perfect balance of flavors lies in the quality of the ingredients. The eggplant must be sliced into uniform strips, coated in a seasoned parmesan breading, and baked to crispy perfection. This dish offers a delightful alternative to traditional fries, showcasing the versatility of eggplant and the savory richness of Parmigiano-Reggiano.
