How to cook whole eggplants in an air fryer? It’s quick and very simple, you’ll get soft eggplants that you can use as a base to get creative with many dishes: sides, starters, main courses, and first courses.
When I cook eggplants with this method, I often prepare Eggplant Balls, spreadable cream for crostini, or baba ganoush. They’re also delicious just cut into strips and seasoned with oil and garlic for a quick summer side.
It’s a very easy recipe that you can prepare much faster in an air fryer than in the oven, and there’s no need for preheating!
