Ingredients
canola oil for frying
2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3 large eggs, beaten
1 eggplant, peeled and sliced
1 (13.5 ounce) jar roasted garlic flavored spaghetti sauce (such as Ragu® Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Heat canola oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Mix bread crumbs, flour, and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese together in a bowl. Place eggs in a small bowl.
Dip eggplant slices in the eggs, then the bread crumb mixture. Drop into oil a few slices at a time until breading turns golden brown, about 2 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Heat spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
