Baked Eggplant Fries

"These super tasty Baked Eggplant Fries are a delicious and healthy version of French fries that will satisfy family and impress guests! With a crispy outside and tender inside, this upscaled version of the classic side is filling and yummy. Serve with a flavorful homemade chipotle basil dip on the side for the ultimate flavor combination! You’ll never go back to regular fries again once you try these. I really love eggplant, but I don't serve it nearly as often as I should. I do the same with spaghetti squash. These are both wonderful vegetables that should have a prominent and regular place in our meal rotations! These crispy eggplant fries can be served as an appetizer or healthy snack, or you can use them as a side dish for a family meal. The fries themselves are pretty tasty, but I really love them with the Basil Dipping Sauce! This special sauce for eggplant fries has a bit of kick to it, but you can customize to your taste by adjusting the amount of ground chipotle. "
