📝 Ingredients

• 2 medium eggplant
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free)
• 2 eggs (beaten.)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (regular or gluten-free)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Oil (for the basket.)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees.
2. 2Cut the eggplant into ½ inch rounds. Then cut into matchsticks 1/4 inch wide. Pat dry the eggplant, but do not salt.
3. 3Set up 3 bowls for your breading station. The first bowl should be the flour by itself. The second bowl should have the eggs. In the final bowl mix together the breadcrumbs, cheese, Italian seasoning, and salt.
4. 4Toss the eggplant in the flour to coat on all sides. One at a time dip in the egg mixture and then the breading.
5. 5Spray the basket with a non-stick oil. Add the eggplant and cook for 8 minutes. Shake to flip, cook another 6 to 8 minutes. Work in batches if needed.
6. 6Serve immediately with marinara, ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.
