The air fryer is a very useful tool for grilling vegetables, but… how can we grill more eggplants or zucchinis together in the air fryer? The idea of using wooden skewers helps to speed up the process. I’ll explain how I did it, and I was satisfied with the final result, which you can see from the attached photo. Perhaps these tips will be useful if, like me, you plan to prepare a good eggplant parmigiana and don’t feel like frying in a pan with all the time it takes. So maybe even in mid-August, who knows… could it be done?
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Cheap
- Portions: 4 servings
- Cooking methods: Air Frying
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients
- 4 eggplants (medium size)
- to taste coarse salt
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
Tools
- Bowl
- Skewer
- Brush
- Air fryer
Steps
Wash the eggplants, dry them, and cut them into half-inch slices on a cutting board. Layer the slices in a bowl with some coarse salt sprinkled on top to remove bitterness, cover, and let rest for two hours.
Shake off the salt from the eggplants and place them on a tray. Brush with extra virgin olive oil on both sides and skewer up to five slices on a stick. Leave some space between each slice.
On the air fryer grill, you can place at least five eggplant skewers and thus cook two eggplants at a time. Set the air fryer to 392°F (200°C) and cook for 13 minutes. Repeat the same operation until all the eggplants are done.
Here is the method I discovered for grilling more eggplants together simultaneously and without getting tired. You can then use them as a side dish or to cook a good parmigiana as I did. In summer, I assure you this system is really convenient.
Grill More Eggplants Together in the Air Fryer
It’s necessary to leave a bit of space between each skewered eggplant slice, and if needed, you can use longer wooden sticks. This content contains one or more affiliate links. ALSO CHECK OUT THE CHEF WITH LEFTOVERS PINTEREST BOARD Pinterest Twitter Facebook
