Description

Welcome to the world of crispy fried eggplant, where flavor meets simplicity! As a busy mom, I know how challenging it can be to whip up something delicious after a long day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large eggplant, diced into 1-inch cubes after peeling
  • 2 tablespoons of avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, plus extra if needed for salting
  • 1/2 teaspoon of smoky paprika

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle salt over the eggplant cubes for 15-30 minutes. Dry them off with paper towels.
  2. Mix the eggplant cubes in a big bowl with avocado oil and all the seasonings until everything’s coated well.
  3. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 18 minutes. Give it a toss halfway so it browns evenly.

Notes

  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
  • Ensure the eggplant is well-dried before mixing with oil and seasonings for optimal crispiness.
