Air Fryer Eggplant
Air Fryer Eggplant is so easy to make with little clean-up required! I love using the air fryer eggplant to make my favorite eggplant recipes, baba ghanoush, for my family to eat as a snack or appetizer.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 Eggplants cut in half
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon seasoning of your choice sumac or za'atar
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dry the eggplants. Cut them each in half. Sprinkle salt on each half of the eggplant and let sit for 30 minutes to draw the moisture out. Use a paper towel to dry the eggplant and remove moisture.
- Brush the eggplant with the 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive. Sprinkle with a small amount of salt and pepper and your favorite spices.
- Put the eggplant in the air fryer basket and air fry at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggplant is soft and cooked through.
- Remove and scoop it out of the skin or chop the eggplant to use in recipes like ratatouille or pasta dishes.
Notes
- If you want to use this eggplant in a salad or pasta you can peel the eggplant and cut it into cubes. This will help it cook and become crispy on all sides.
