Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant brinjal
- 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup besan (gram flour)
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder adjust the heat
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
- salt as per taste
- ½ cup water for making batter adjust as per the thickness you desire
Instructions
- While you prep, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5-10 minutes.Wash and slice the eggplant into ½-inch thick rounds. I haven't peeled the eggplant, you may feel free to do that. You may sprinkle salt on eggplant to drain excess moisture from it, but it's not mandatory.
- In a bowl, combine gram flour, olive oil, salt, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Mix well to create a smooth, thick paste. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Dip each eggplant slice into the gram flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides. Shake off any excess coating to avoid clumps.Place the coated eggplant slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
- Air fry the eggplant slices for 12-15 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through. The slices should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- The delicious Air Fryer Eggplant Slices are ready. Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
Notes
- Make sure to cut eggplant in uniform thick slices (not too thick or thin)- ½ inch thick works best.
- Make sure to brush the air fryer basket with olive oil to avoid sticking of eggplant slices.
- Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation, promoting even cooking.
- About halfway through the cooking time, flip or shake the basket gently to ensure that all sides of the eggplant slices are cooked.
- Air-fried food is best enjoyed right out of the fryer. Serve the eggplant slices immediately to preserve their crispy texture.
