Ingredients
- – 1 lb (454 g) eggplant, cut in 1/2″ (1.27 cm) pieces
- – 4 tbsp (60 ml) avocado oil or preferred high-heat cooking oil
- – 1 tsp (5 g) kosher salt
- – 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) black pepper
- – 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) red chili flakes
- – 2 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggplant pieces with avocado oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes.
- Place the eggplant mixture in the air fryer and set the temperature to 400°F. Cook for 8 minutes.
- Shake the basket to ensure even cooking, and then continue to air fry for an additional 7 minutes, until the eggplant achieves a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
Notes
- Consider enhancing the flavor by adding fresh thyme leaves to the eggplant mixture before air frying.
- Ensure an even coating of avocado oil and seasonings on the eggplant for consistent flavor.
- Adjust the red chili flakes to your desired level of spiciness and cook the eggplant in batches to avoid overcrowding in the air fryer.
