Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the eggplants thoroughly under running water.
- Slice the eggplants into thin, even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a shallow bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well beaten.
- In another shallow bowl, place the flour.
- In a third shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, spice mix, and paprika. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
- Dip each eggplant slice into the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Next, dip the floured eggplant slice into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
- Finally, coat the eggplant slice with the bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. If your air fryer does not have a preheat setting, you can set it to the desired temperature and let it run empty for a few minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the breaded eggplant slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Spray a light mist of cooking spray oil over the top of the breaded eggplant slices for extra crispiness.
- Cook the eggplant chips at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time. The chips should be golden brown and crispy when done.
- Remove the eggplant chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Ensure the eggplant slices are of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat them dry before coating.
- For extra crispiness, you can flip the eggplant slices halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve the chips immediately for the best texture, as they can lose their crispiness if left out for too long.
- Experiment with different spices or seasoning blends to customize the flavor to your liking.
There you have it - air fryer eggplant chips that are crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delightful. These chips are not only a healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks but also incredibly easy to make. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or just as a quick snack, these eggplant chips are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy your homemade, guilt-free treat!
