½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil or cooking spray
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
Prep the eggplant: Slice the eggplant into fry-sized pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle slices with salt and let rest for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture.

Bread the eggplant: Rinse and dry eggplant slices after 30 minutes. Dip each piece into the egg wash, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange on a baking sheet: Lay the breaded eggplant fries in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
Bake: Drizzle olive oil over the fries and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve: Serve immediately with fresh basil and marinara sauce.
