These eggplant Parmesan rounds are oil free and grease free, yet they are crispy and crunchy. All due to cooking it in an air fryer. They are good eaten right out of the air fryer or topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Either way they are delicious.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl.

Place flour in a separate shallow bowl and beaten eggs in a third shallow bowl.

Dip sliced eggplant first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumb mixture.

Place coated eggplant on a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.

Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C).

Place breaded eggplant rounds in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching; work in batches if necessary.

Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flip each round, and cook until desired crispiness is achieved, 4 to 6 minutes more.

Top each eggplant round with marinara sauce and 1 slice mozzarella cheese.

Place basket back in the air fryer and cook until cheese has started to melt, 1 to 2 minutes.

Repeat with remaining eggplant, if necessary.
