EGGPLANT

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium (1-11⁄4 lbs.) eggplant, sliced into strips

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1⁄2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

  • 1⁄2 cup wheat germ, toasted

  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning

  • 3⁄4 tsp. garlic salt

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil or cooking spray

    Directions:

1. Prepare your eggplants. Slice them up according to your desired fry size and length then add some salt for seasoning. Let it sit for up to 45 minutes to remove its excess moisture.

2. Pre-heat your air fryer to 400°F.

3. Prepare the ingredients. In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another, mix the

wheat germ, cheese, and seasonings. These will serve as your breading.

4. Dip the sliced eggplants into the egg and then cover it with the bread- ing. Dip it first in the egg, then, on the cheese mixture.

5. Spray the cooking basket with some cooking oil. Place the ingredients inside the fry basket and cook for 5-7 minutes at 400°F before turning the ingredients. Make sure not to overcrowd your fry basket when cook- ing this dish as it needs better air penetration due to the breading.

6. Turn and then cook for another 5-7 minutes or until they eggplant fries are crispy.
