Crispy Parmesan Eggplant

Not to be confused with eggplant parmesan, this eggplant is coated in a crispy parmesan crust.

To start you’ll need an air fyer. I have this one here and I’m obsessed with it (I literally use it EVERY SINGLE DAY).

We love this easy Air Fryer Eggplant because it always turns out crispy for dipping but tender inside.

This recipe makes for a great snack or a fun side.

Air Frying Tips

Don’t cut the eggplant too thin, you want it to have texture.
Salting the eggplant draws out moisture and seasons it!
Even though some slices will be larger due to the natural shape of the eggplant, keep all of the slices the same thickness so they fry evenly.
Air Fry in a single layer in batches. Once all batches are cooked through, you can heat them all together at 400°F for about 3-4 minutes.
