Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan
Servings: 5 people
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant or two small
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian spice blend
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 medium eggs
- olive oil cooking spray
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Slice eggplant into ½" round slices and dry with a paper towel.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, almond flour and spices. In a separate bowl add your eggs and whisk.
- Dip each eggplant slice into the egg and then the breadcrumb mixture. Gently press down to ensure the breading stays on the eggplant. Continue until all eggplant is breaded.
- Spray each side of the eggplant with olive oil cooking spray and place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 12 minutes, flipping half way. Place a spoonful of marinara sauce and shredded cheese on each eggplant round and air fryer for another 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Serve with additional marinara sauce and fresh basil if using!
