Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplants, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F) to ensure it is at the right temperature for cooking the eggplants evenly.
- Prepare Eggplants: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggplant slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Air Fry the Eggplants: Place the seasoned eggplant slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook them for 9 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to achieve even crispiness on both sides.
- Repeat if Necessary: Remove the cooked eggplant slices from the basket and continue the process with any remaining slices, making sure not to overcrowd the basket for optimal cooking results.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Flip the eggplant slices halfway through cooking for a crispy texture on both sides.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste - you may add garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately for best texture, or store in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer.
