5 from 2 reviews

This air fryer eggplant recipe is one of the best eggplant recipes I have ever made. It only requires 6 ingredients. This is a completely plant-based meal for all my vegan/vegetarian friends. Have it with a nice bowl of steamed white rice, and you have a delicious meal ready in 20 minutes. Give this eggplant in air fryer and try and let me know what you think.

Ingredients

Scale

1 large eggplant

2 tbsp of avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer your 350 degrees.
  2. Slice your eggplant into thick slices—about half inch rounds.
