Ingredients
-
2 small eggplants, sliced 1/4-inch thick
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
2 large egg, lightly beaten
-
½ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
-
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
Sprinkle eggplant slices evenly with salt and let stand for 10 minutes. Pat the eggplant slices dry with a paper towel.
-
Spread flour in a shallow dish. Place eggs in a separate shallow dish. Stir panko, Parmesan and Italian seasoning together in a third shallow dish. Dredge the eggplant slices in the flour, then dip in the egg, shaking off excess; dredge in the panko mixture.
-
Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Arrange half of the eggplant slices in an even layer in the fryer basket; coat the eggplant generously with cooking spray. Cook until crispy and golden on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the eggplant slices; coat with cooking spray and cook until golden and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat the procedure with the remaining eggplant slices. Sprinkle with parsley; garnish with additional Parmesan, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
