Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large globe eggplant (about 1 lb)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Slice the eggplant into ¼-inch rounds. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange slices in a single layer in the basket and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
  3. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with parsley and flaky salt if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

The eggplant slices will shrink noticeably as they cook, which is normal. If you’re doubling the recipe, cook in batches rather than cramming the basket so everything stays crisp.
