Grease 2 cookie trays with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Cut up the eggplant into ½ inch rounds. Using a child friendly knife like the one by Curious Chef gives your child a chance to be part of the cooking process.
Measure 1 cup of flour and pour into a bowl.
Beat 4 eggs in another bowl.
Add three cups of panko to the third bowl. T
he next steps are a fantastic way to practice sequencing. Coat a piece of eggplant in flour, then dip in egg and then in the panko breadcrumbs.
Place on the greased cookie tray.
Repeat these steps with all of the pieces of eggplant.
Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce.
