- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

- Dip the eggplant fries into the beaten eggs, then coat them with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated fries on the prepared baking sheet.

- Once the eggplant fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve the crispy baked eggplant fries with the creamy garlic aioli dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Baked eggplant fries with garlic aioli dipping sauce have a rich history rooted in Mediterranean cuisine. This dish originated in the coastal regions of Italy and Greece, where eggplants are abundant. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the preparation of the eggplant, ensuring it is sliced into uniform fries and baked to crispy perfection.
