Air Fryer Eggplant Recipe

How To Make Eggplant In Air Fryer?

1. The first and foremost thing to do is to properly clean the air fryer. Make sure that your Air Fryer is ready for cooking a delicious meal.
2. Next, take a medium-size eggplant and cut the top green part of the eggplant. Now cut the eggplant in the shape of small cubes of about one inch. Make sure to cut all the cubes of eggplant to a similar size. Thin slices of eggplant can make the dish look smushed. Perfect cubes are what we are aiming for.
3. After that, carefully take the cubes of the eggplant and put them in a fresh and clean mixing bowl. Once you are done with transferring the slices of eggplant, add the oil, and then sprinkle the spices, herbs, and salt.

1. Once all the spices and herbs are in the mixing bowl, toss the slices to make sure that every slice of the eggplant is coated with it.
2. Now that our eggplant is ready to be cooked, preheat your Air Fryer for 10 minutes, and transfer the eggplant slices in it carefully. Set the temperature at 400℉.
3. Leave it for at least 10 to 15 minutes for it to be cooked properly. Usually, 15 minutes is more than enough for the eggplant slices to be tenderly cooked on the inside and crispy on the outside.
4. Finally, let’s garnish it with some cilantro, perhaps squeeze some lime on top, and eat up!

Eggplant Recipe Tips

• The slices or cubes may be small or big, but they have to be of similar thickness. An eggplant slice must be at least one inch thick for it to be evenly cooked.
• If you need to eat this at a later time after eating, you can reheat them in the air fryer for 3 to 4 minutes at 400℉.
• You can choose any oil as per your liking. I prefer cold-pressed oils, as they are packed with nutrition and health, which means they still retain more nutritional benefits. Additionally, food cooked in cold-pressed oil has more aroma and flavor.
• Adding salt to the dices of the eggplant will encourage the release of water from the eggplant. It is the perfect way of seasoning it and also ensuring that it will be less soggy.
• Be sure not to put all the slices of eggplants together in the air fryer. It will be crowded and not cook properly. Put the slices in batches in the air fryer in a single row.
