Preparing Air Fryer Eggplant is much easier than you might think! This often overlooked vegetable, with the right seasonings, will be a welcome addition to your side dish rotation.
Put eggplant pieces in a bowl, add the oil, herbs, and spices. Stir well to combine.
Place the eggplant into the air fryer basket or tray. Make sure the eggplant is spread out. It's okay if it's stacked because it will shrink while cooking.
Air Fry the eggplant at 380F/193C for 15 minutes. Shake or stir halfway through the cooking time. Enjoy!
Notes
Choose a medium sized eggplant with shiny skin that feels heavy for its size.
No need to peel the eggplant, but you can if you prefer.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
