How to prepare the eggplants with cherry tomatoes in an air fryer
Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes. Cut them into small pieces.
Place the cherry tomatoes in a bowl and season with oil and salt. (If you like, you can also add a clove of garlic).
Wash the eggplants, remove the stem, and cut them into slices about 0.4 inches thick. Score the slices by making cuts first vertically and then horizontally.
Place the eggplant slices in the basket of the air fryer making a single layer (do not overlap them). Adjust the salt. If you want to take a look at my air fryer click here.
Top the eggplant slices with the cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with a little more oil and cook at 356°F for about 15/18 minutes, or until they are soft. I cooked them for 15 minutes. Times may vary depending on your air fryer.
Once ready, if you like, you can add fresh basil. (I didn’t add it).
Serve yourself.
