I love eggplant and so I thought it tasted fine, but I did think it lacked some flavor even with the Ranch powder. I also found that it smokes up pretty quickly from the cornmeal if you have the heat too high.

These are great but it even at one eggplant it makes quite a bit. Good if you have company. Make sure you serve them fresh.
