Description

Air fryer eggplant is a healthy, easy alternative to deep fried eggplant. The air fryer makes the eggplant fries nice and crispy, just like a deep fryer, but since it uses a fraction of the oil, it is much healthier for your entire family so you can feel good enjoying a wholesome treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 small eggplants
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Eggplant.

  1. Slice the ends off the eggplant, then slice it in half lengthwise.
  2. Slice into 1-inch-thick pieces and then slice the eggplant in half horizontally to make the fries shorter.
  3. Combine the seasonings in a small bowl. 
  4. Next, place the eggplant pieces in a medium-sized bowl and then toss with the olive oil.
  5. Sprinkle in the spices and toss to coat.
  6. Once the eggplant is ready, place the eggplant fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure to give them a bit of room between each fry. Keep in mind, you may need to work in batches. 
  7. Air fry  at 375 *t for 8 to 10 minutes and make sure to flip them once halfway through. 
  8. When done serve it with marinara sauce

Cook crispy eggplant in Oven

  3. First, place the eggplant on a non-stick pan with some space between.
