Slice eggplant into rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.

Rinse eggplant slices under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, combine flour, black pepper, paprika, and cumin.

In another bowl, beat the egg and mix with water.

Dredge each eggplant slice in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the breaded eggplant slices in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove fried eggplant and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Finely chop garlic and parsley, and mix together in a small bowl.

Sprinkle garlic-parsley mixture over the fried eggplant slices.

Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
