Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
  • 1 Eggplant (large)
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce (or pizza sauce)
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese (grated)
  • 1 Egg + 1 tablespoon Water
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Pizza Seasoning
  • 3 tablespoon Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley
Instructions
  • Start by cutting the eggplant into 1/2″ slices. Rub them with salt on both sides and let them sit for 15-20 minutes.
  • Mix the egg, water, and flour in a mixing bowl (to make the batter).
    Then, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, pizza seasoning, salt, and smoked paprika in another plate.
  • Apply the batter to the eggplant slices, and then dip them in the breadcrumb mixture. Coat them evenly.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 370F (190C).
  • Once hot, place the eggplant slices in the air fryer and spray them with oil. Cook for 7-9 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggplant is soft.
  • Top the slices with the pizza sauce (or Marinara sauce) and mozzarella cheese. Air fry for 1 more minute until the cheese also melts.
    Remove from the air fryer and enjoy!
