Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan Fries

Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan Fries

These Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan Fries are a fun recipe spin on traditional eggplant parmesan.

Little hand held crispy fries dipped in your favorite marinara sauce make the perfect side dish or appetizer.

I would also add that these are a guilt free way to enjoy eggplant parmesan since they are air fried instead of deep fried.

They are also a sneaky way to get the kids to eat their veggies đŸ˜‰

How to Make Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan Fries

The eggplant I had was a small to medium size, so they all fit in one batch in my air fryer.

Slice them up in half inch fry size pieces.

Then add some panko bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and pepper in one bowl.

And a beaten egg in another bowl.

Dip each eggplant fry into the egg, then into the panko mixture.

Press the crumbs slightly so they stick and place each one into the air fryer basket.

Spray some olive oil cooking spray over top and set the air fryer to 390 for 8 to 10 minutes.
