Ingredients
Air Fryer Eggplant
- 1 eggplant
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp oil 30 mL
Flavor Options (choose one)
- Smoky Garlic: 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder
- Mexican: 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder
- Italian: 2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prep: Cut eggplant into ½ to 1 inch large cubes. Add them to a bowl along with salt, stirring to combine. Lay out a few layers of paper towels and spread eggplant cubes onto them. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat them as dry as you can.
- Flavor: In a large bowl toss together eggplant, oil, and your chosen flavor.
- Air Fry: Add eggplant to your air fryer, in as single of a layer as possible (you may need to work in batches). Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 15 minutes, jostling the pan every few minutes, until golden brown and crispy!
Notes
- Should you peel your eggplant? I prefer to leave the peel on, which helps the eggplant retain it's shape better (plus, the skin is filled with fiber and antioxidants!)
