Eggplant Snack Sticks

Ingredients

1 medium eggplant
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ (**I did not use wheat germ)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup beaten egg
1 cup meatless spaghetti sauce, warmed

Directions

1) Cut eggplant lengthwise into 1/2-in.-thick slices, then cut each slice lengthwise into 1/2-in. strips. In a shallow dish, combine the wheat germ, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic salt. Dip eggplant sticks in egg, then coat with wheat germ mixture. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray.
2) Spritz eggplant with cooking spray. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven. Turn sticks and spritz with cooking spray. Broil 2 minutes longer or until golden brown. Serve immediately with spaghetti sauce.

Comments: I cut decided to cut out the wheat germ and up the amount of Parmesan cheese, which was a mistake b/c it make the eggplant way too salty. Otherwise a good and interesting way to eat eggplant.
