Air Fryer Eggplant
Description
The eggplant is simply cut into cubes without peeling, then dressed with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder if desired. Air frying at 400°F for 10 minutes, with a shake halfway through, cooks the eggplant evenly while creating a slightly golden exterior. This method yields tender eggplant cubes that hold their shape and can be added to various dishes or served as a side.
The straightforward seasoning allows the natural flavor of the eggplant to shine. The air fryer reduces the need for excessive oil compared to deep frying, producing a lighter preparation.
Ingredients
- 1 eggplant medium
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
Instructions
- Cut the eggplant into cubes. There is no need to peel it.
- Put the cubes in a bowl and toss with the oil, salt and garlic powder.
- Put the eggplant in a single layer in the air fryer and cook at 400 F for 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through.
