Why Make Egg Plant Fries in the Air Fryer?
My air fryer is among my favorite kitchen appliances because you can create such excellent crispy food without using oil.
When you deep-fry something, it is flooded in deep oil and soaks it up. On the other hand, frying something in your air fryer calls for only a tiny amount of oil, and the air fryer does its magic, producing crispy results!
Only a light mist of oil in the basket and a light mist over the top of the eggplant fries are required before frying, thus, making them a healthier version.
Is it Possible to Prepare These Fries In Advance?
I recommend that you serve these right away. They’re incredibly crispy after air-frying; however, they lose some crunch after a while in the fridge. If you have any leftovers, I recommend using your air fryer to reheat them for restoring some crunch.
Which dipping Sauce Should I Use?
These crunchy air fryer eggplant fries pair well with almost everything! You can try Marinara Sauce, ranch dressing, ketchup, spicy sauce, or caesar dipping sauce as a dip.
Important Tips:
- Do not put too many fries that can overcrowd the air fryer basket since your eggplant fries will be less crispy in that case.
- You can use parmesan cheese for added taste by simply grating it on top of these fries as soon as they come out of the air fryer.
- The easiest way to get the crunch out of these fries is to eat them.
