Instructions
- Slice eggplant into ⅓" slices. Sprinkle with salt and let sit 20 minutes.
- While eggplant is sitting, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water in a second bowl.
- Quickly rinse the eggplant and pat dry.
- Dip each eggplant slice into the flour, then into the egg and finally into the bread crumb mixture. Spray each side of the eggplant with cooking spray.
- Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Place in a single layer in the air fryer and cook 5 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 5-7 minutes or until tender and crisp.
- Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Don't cut the eggplant too thin, you want it to have texture.
- Salting the eggplant draws out moisture and seasons it!
- Even though some slices will be larger due to the natural shape of the eggplant, keep all of the slices the same thickness so they fry evenly.
- Air Fry in a single layer in batches. Once all batches are cooked through, you can heat them all together at 400°F for about 3-4 minutes.
