As you bread each eggplant slice, transfer to a papertowl covered plate until they are all breaded.
Heat your vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry each eggplant slice for about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown.
Once you have cooked each eggplant slice, it is time to plate your meal.

If you are serving as a side, simply just use the marinara as a dipping sauce.
