Air Fried Eggplant Parmesan Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 medium eggplant
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • 1 lb. fresh mozzarella cheese sliced into rounds
  • 1 jar spaghetti sauce

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the eggplant into ½” slices. Place the eggplant rounds in a colander and toss them with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let them drain in the colander over a bowl in the sink for 45 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Mix breadcrumbs and olive oil together.
  3. Bread the eggplant rounds in batches by coating them in the flour, then the eggs and then the breadcrumbs.
  4. Set your Airfryer to 390 F. Place 4-5 slices of breaded eggplant into the fryer and set the fryer to cook for 8 minutes. (11 minutes for the first batch so that the fryer can warm up.)
  5. While your eggplant is frying, boil spaghetti in a pot of water. When ready, drain and toss with spaghetti sauce.
  6. Transfer “fried” eggplant to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and top with one tablespoon of spaghetti sauce and one slice of mozzarella cheese.
  7. Turn your broiler to high and carefully slide the cookie sheet under the broiler just long enough until the cheese melts. Immediately serve with spaghetti.
