Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan Fries

written by Air Fryer Recipes | January 27, 2025

Ingredients

1 medium eggplant
½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup of breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Directions

Start by slicing the eggplant into fry-like sticks. Then, sprinkle a little salt on each piece and let them sit for a few minutes. This removes excess moisture, which will help them achieve that golden-brown crunch in the air fryer.
The Perfect Breading Technique

Prepare Three Bowls: One with beaten eggs, one with breadcrumbs, and one with Parmesan cheese.

Coat the Eggplant: Dip each eggplant stick into the egg mixture, followed by the Parmesan cheese, and then the breadcrumbs.

Press Firmly: Ensure the breadcrumbs stick by gently pressing them onto each piece.
Air Frying Eggplant Parmesan Fries

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Place the eggplant sticks in a single layer in the basket (you may need to do this in batches). Fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. They’re ready when they turn golden and crispy.
