Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 medium eggplant

  • ½ cup Italian bread crumbs

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 eggs

Directions

  1. Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch rounds, then cut each round into 1/4-inch sticks. Pat dry.

  2. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Pour flour into a second shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in a third bowl.

  3. Dip eggplant sticks in flour, then in beaten eggs, and then coat with bread crumb mixture. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.

  4. Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C).
