These oven-fried eggplant sticks were inspired by the deep-fried versions served at Galatoire's restaurant in New Orleans. FYI: "oven-fried" is a fancy word for "baked," if you really love crispy and don't mind frying, consider making the fried version instead. Place the eggplant fries on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle evenly with the olive oil.

On a side note, to avoid very messy fingers, use one hand for dredging the eggplant and the other for tossing the eggplant fries in the breadcrumb mix. An easy way to cut your eggplant is to first slice off the ends, then cut it in half length-wise. From there, you will make "french fry" wedges from the eggplant using your knife. Once the eggplant is all cut up, set aside. Next, add the breadcrumbs, parmesan, and cayenne pepper to a bowl.
