Quick Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan is a delightful and healthier take on the traditional Italian classic. Instead of the usual deep frying, this recipe utilises an air fryer to achieve perfectly crispy slices of aubergine with much less oil.

Begin by slicing the aubergine into even rounds and lightly salting them to draw out excess moisture. Once they've rested, dip each slice in seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese for that extra flavour. The air fryer, preheated and ready, allows these coated slices to crisp up beautifully, creating a satisfying crunch.

Layer the golden aubergine with a rich homemade tomato sauce and a generous sprinkling of mozzarella cheese. A quick blast in the air fryer melts the cheese to gooey perfection, while the combination of textures—crispy, soft, and cheesy—delights the palate. Serve your air-fried eggplant Parmesan with a fresh basil garnish and a side salad for a swift yet sumptuous meal that's sure to impress.
