Eggplant is low in calories and contains notable amounts of dietary fiber, making it a healthful addition to any diet. If you have a craving for a crispy treat, thin-sliced, fried eggplant provides a satisfying crunch with a burst of flavor. The oil and breading increase the caloric and fat content, but fried eggplant remains healthier than chips or greasy french fries. Ingredients and Healthy Suggestions
Thin-sliced, fried eggplant needs a breading to keep it crisp, as eggplant is high in water and becomes soft when cooked. Basic ingredients include egg, salt, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, eggplant and oil for frying. Canola oil contains high levels of heart-healthy fats with minimal saturated fat -- it is one of the best frying options. Use only as much oil as necessary to coat the bottom of your skillet. Once the eggplant has fried, set the slices on paper towels to drain extra oil before serving. One serving of thin-sliced, fried eggplant weighs about 3 ounces. Calories, Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium
A 3-ounce serving of thin-sliced, fried eggplant contains 101 calories, only 17 of which are from the 2 grams of fat.
