Breaded Eggplant and Zucchini

Light and crunchy slices of eggplant and zucchini make a wonderful summer dish. Use small, young vegetables, if possible.

Tools	knife paper towels 2 shallow bowls whisk 2 large cookie sheets parchment paper
Ingredients	1 pound eggplant 1 pound zucchini 1½ t salt ½ c vegan mayonnaise 1½ c fine bread crumbs 2½ t dried oregano 1 t dried rosemary 1 t dried thyme olive oil
Directions	Slice the vegetables diagonally into ¼-inch slices. Lightly sprinkle with salt and arrange on papers towels to drain for 30 minutes. Whisk mayonnaise in one bowl until smooth, and combine bread crumbs and herbs in the other. Line the baking dishes with parchment paper (or oil well). Preheat oven to 425. Lightly coat a vegetable slice with mayonnaise, then dip in bread crumbs to coat both sides and place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining vegetables, arranging them in a single layer on the cookie sheets. Lightly drizzle or spray with oil, then bake for 10 minutes. Turn each slice, drizzle or spray the other side, and bake another 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with a side of skordalia.
