Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash the eggplant and trim off the ends. Cut the eggplant into fry-shaped strips, about 1/2 inch wide.

In a shallow bowl, combine the coconut milk and curry powder. Stir well to mix the flavors.

In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, shredded coconut, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Dip each eggplant strip into the coconut milk mixture, making sure it is well-coated.

Coat the soaked eggplant strip with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help it stick.
-
Place the coated fries on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced out.
-
Lightly spray the fries with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fries cool slightly before serving.
