Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil.
2. Cut ends off the eggplant. Slice eggplant in half, then into 1/4 inch thick slices. Lay each slice on the cutting board and cut into 1/4 inch strips. Be sure to cut all the strips the same size so they cook evenly.
3. Place eggplant strips in a bowl and season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
4. Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl, and egg whites in another.
5. Dip a few strips of eggplant at a time into the egg whites, then into the breadcrumbs. Using a fork, remove eggplant from crumbs and place on the baking sheets. Spray with more oil and bake 10 minutes in the middle rack.
6. Turn over and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until golden. Serve hot.
