- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick foil.
-
Step 2.
Place ½ cup flour on a plate. In a shallow bowl, beat 1 large egg plus 1 egg white. In a second shallow bowl or pie plate, combine 1 cup panko, ½ cup grated Parmesan, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper; mix in 1 tablespoon olive oil until the panko is evenly moistened.
-
Step 3.
Cut 1 small eggplant (about 12 ounces) into long ½-inch-thick sticks. Coat each stick first in the flour, then in the beaten egg (letting excess drip off), and finally in the panko mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere. Place the coated sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Step 4.
Roast the eggplant sticks until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through.
-
Step 5.
While the eggplant roasts, cook the cheese ravioli according to package instructions. Drain the ravioli and divide among plates. Top with 1 cup warmed jarred marinara sauce.
-
Step 6.
Once the eggplant is done, cut the sticks into bite-sized pieces and scatter them over the ravioli. Serve with grated fresh mozzarella, if desired.
