Method
 

  1. Choose 2–3 sides to build a balanced plate, selecting fresh or crunchy items plus starchy or vegetable options; add a sauce or dip if desired.
  2. Start preparing the sides with the longest cook time first and finish with the quickest to serve everything fresh and warm.
  3. Serve the sides alongside the breaded eggplant, adding sauces or dips on the side to maintain crispness and contrast.

Notes

Add one fresh side like a salad and keep sauces separate until serving to avoid a heavy or soggy plate.
