Air Fryer Eggplant Recipe

Print Recipe
The air fryer makes a crispy and delicious breaded eggplant in no time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large eggplant
  • ⅔ cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • ¼ cup flour
  • marinara sauce for serving optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
  2. Slice eggplant into ⅓” slices and pat dry with paper towel.
  3. Mix bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
  4. In two other seperate bowls place the whisked eggs and flour.
  5. Dip each eggplant slice into flour, then the whisked egg, and lastly the breadcrumb mixture. Finish off by spraying each side of the eggplant with cooking spray.
  6. Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Serve with a marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Keep slices of eggplant at the same width so they cook evenly.
  • Cook in a single layer so the crumbs can crisp.
  • You can salt each slice of eggplant before patting it dry, this is not required though. It draws out excess moisture as well as lightly seasoning it.
  • For best results, cook in batches. Place all batches into the air fryer and heat together before serving.
  • Cooked eggplant will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days, and up to 1 month in the freezer.
