Eggplant fries have a rich history, originating in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Chefs in these regions have long been known for their innovative use of eggplant, and the idea of turning this versatile vegetable into crispy, flavorful fries quickly gained popularity. The dish made its way to the United States and other parts of the world, where it has become a beloved appetizer or side dish. Today, the best versions of eggplant fries can be found in restaurants that prioritize fresh, high-quality ingredients and expert seasoning. The key to perfect eggplant fries lies in achieving the ideal balance of crispy exterior and tender interior, often achieved through precise slicing and careful frying.
