Air-fryer eggplant fries coated in savory breading and Parmesan cheese totally make us forget about classic potato fries. They work well as a side dish or an anytime snack.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. While it preheats, whisk eggs in a shallow bowl (or any dish that makes dipping easy). In another shallow bowl, combine the cheese, wheat germ, Italian seasonings and garlic salt.
Trim the ends of the eggplant. Cut the eggplant lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut the slices lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips. Once you have the right fry shape, dip them into the eggs, and then roll them in the cheese mixture to coat all sides. Editor's Tip: Be careful and consistent when cutting your fry shapes. Too thin and they might cook up too crispy; too thick and they might not cook all the way through.
Working in batches, arrange the eggplant fries in a single layer on a greased tray in your air-fryer basket. Spritz the tops of the air-fryer eggplant fries with cooking spray, and cook for four to five minutes or until golden brown. Turn the eggplant fries, spritz again, and cook them for another four to five minutes or until golden brown.
Serve the fries immediately with pasta sauce on the side.
