Key Ingredients- 1-2 eggplants
- 1 ripe tomato (or 5-6 cherry tomatoes)
- 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the eggplants. Remove the stems, then slice them into approximately 1cm thick rounds, making them easy to eat. Slicing them too thinly might cause them to break apart during cooking, so aim for a moderate thickness.
Step 2
Prepare the tomatoes. Using a well-ripened tomato will add a deeper flavor. Remove the stem and finely mince it. If you’re using cherry tomatoes, simply wash them and cut them in half for convenience and a pretty presentation.
Step 3
Now it’s time to use your air fryer. Arrange the sliced eggplants in a single layer in the air fryer basket or on its tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Air fry at 150°C (300°F) for about 8-10 minutes. Adjust the cooking time based on the tenderness you prefer; they should be lightly golden brown.
Step 4
Transfer the roasted eggplant slices to a serving plate. Top with the prepared minced tomatoes for freshness and a pop of color. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle with a little sweet and tangy plum balsamic vinegar, if desired. Finally, sprinkle with dried parsley for a beautiful finish. Your ‘Air Fryer Roasted Eggplant’ is ready to be enjoyed! It’s best served warm.
