How to prepare Eggplants with mozzarella in air fryer
Let’s start preparing the Eggplants with mozzarella in air fryer. Pour some tomato sauce into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, some oregano, and extra virgin olive oil, mix with a teaspoon and let it flavor. Cut the mozzarella into pieces and let it rest to remove excess water.
Wash the eggplant, remove the stem, and slice it into approximately 0.4-inch thick pieces. Place the eggplant slices in the air fryer basket and cook at 374°F for 10 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the eggplant slices from the basket and arrange them neatly on a baking sheet. Add some tomato sauce and mozzarella cubes on top of each slice, sprinkle with oregano and spray with the oil sprayer.
Put the eggplant slices back in the air fryer. Cook at 392°F for 5 minutes, remove the Eggplants with mozzarella from the air fryer, and serve them hot or at room temperature.
