Crispy Air Fryer Eggplant Fries

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Set up a dredging station: In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and more salt and pepper.

Take each eggplant fry, dip it first in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick well.

Place the coated eggplant fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.

Lightly spray the fries with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.

Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and serve immediately.
