Breaded sticks are a dish that can be served as a snack, appetizer or main course. Eggplants belong to the nightshade family and are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are also low in calories and high in antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to any meal. The crispy texture of the breaded eggplant sticks combined with the spicy sauce makes for a perfect flavor combination.

To make breaded eggplant sticks, you will need the following ingredients:

– 2 eggplants
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 2 cups breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– vegetable oil for frying

To make the spicy sauce, you will need:

– 3 tablespoons hot sauce
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 tablespoon water

Directions:

1. Peel the eggplants and cut them into 1-inch sticks. Sprinkle the salt over the sticks and let them sit for 10 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Place the flour in a shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another shallow dish and the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Season the breadcrumbs with the black pepper.

4. Pat the eggplant sticks dry with paper towels. Dredge the eggplant sticks in the flour, then dip them in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat the sticks with the breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs onto the eggplant sticks to help them adhere.

5. In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant sticks in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the eggplant sticks to the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake the eggplant sticks in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until they are crispy and heated through.

7. While the eggplant sticks are baking, prepare the spicy sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well.

8. Serve the warm eggplant sticks with the spicy sauce on the side for dipping.

Breaded eggplant sticks are a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making them perfect for entertaining. The addition of the spicy sauce enhances the flavor of the eggplant sticks and adds a nice kick of heat. This dish is sure to be a hit with anyone who loves the combination of crispy and spicy!
