HOW TO PREPARE EGGPLANTS IN AIR FRYER
PREPARE THE EGGPLANTS: Wash and slice the eggplants into fairly thick slices and place them on the air fryer tray or basket, depending on the type of air fryer you use. Below I leave the link of the fryers that I recommend. Now wash and chop the cherry tomatoes, add all the ingredients to season them and mix, put some tomatoes on each eggplant slice, add more basil and a drizzle of oil.
COOKING THE EGGPLANTS: Cook the eggplants following your air fryer’s program or at 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 15 minutes and then enjoy them; they are delicious hot and cold.
