Air-Fried Eggplant Fries

 

I tried making eggplant fries with my air fryer. I have tried Baked Eggplant Fries and my kids really liked that. You don’t need a lot of ingredients but it does take some time to bread each eggplant and cook it in the air-fryer in a single layer. You want to make sure your eggplant are cut into somewhat thin French-fry strips or else it won’t be crisp enough.
