Air Fryer Eggplant
Crispy and flavorful, this air fryer eggplant is one of our favorite side dishes! I also like to make it into a full meal by serving it over pasta with marinara sauce, fresh herbs, and dollops of cashew cream.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
2
Sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt on both sides and place in a large colander to drain for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
3
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a medium bowl or rimmed plate, combine the panko, almond flour, pecorino, salt, and several grinds of pepper.
4
Pat the eggplant slices dry, dip them into the egg, and then into the panko mixture. Place on a plate as you work and then drizzle the slices with olive oil. Place in a single layer in the air fryer and air fry for 17 to ⏱️ 20 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown, flipping halfway through cooking. Work in batches if necessary.
5
Make the eggplant a full meal by serving it with pasta, scoops of tomato sauce, dollops of cashew cream, basil, red pepper flakes, and drizzles of olive oil.
