Now, here’s my little confession: I don’t fry anything in my kitchen. Not because I don’t love it (because oh, I do), but because I’d rather skip the mess and extra oil.
But then I discovered an even easier, cleaner way to make it… in the air fryer!
You get that same golden, crispy breaded eggplant, just without all the fuss. Top it with tomato sauce, sprinkle on the cheese, let it melt, and you’re in business.
It sounds like a lot of steps, but truly, it takes longer to tell you about it than to actually make it.
So today I’m sharing my foolproof tips for cooking eggplant (and yes, eggplant parm!) in one of the greatest kitchen inventions of our time: the air fryer.
Once your breaded eggplant is cooked, the rest is just a few quick steps. Top with tomato sauce, add the cheese, pop them back in the air fryer, and voilà, no oil, no mess, eggplant parm.
Now, if you're looking for a basic eggplant recipe (aka no breading), then this air-fried cubed eggplant is my foolproof recipe. It is ready in about 12 minutes.
If you have never cooked eggplant in your air fryer, now's the perfect time to give it a try. And if you need more inspiration, check out the rest of my air fryer recipes on the blog.
