- Pulse eggplant, salt, garlic powder, and ground pepper in food processor 3 times or until blended.
- Stir together eggplant puree, breadcrumbs, vegetables, eggs and Tabasco until combined; chill 30 minutes.
- Pour oil to a depth of 1 inch into a large skillet; heat to 350°. Drop eggplant mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls in batches, into hot oil; fry 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Drain on paper towels.
