Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan Recipe

Oven air frying is one of my favorite methods of preparing food.  Enjoy a healthy spin on the traditional eggplant parmesan recipe I share in today’s post. Eggplant Parmesan Recipe The biggest problem I have with owning an oven air fryer is I want to prepare more recipes.  The oven air fryer cooks the food as if it were in the deep fryer only with no added fat/calories.  If you don’t have a Electric Oven Air fryer you really should consider getting one!  You can also do this same method in your oven but don’t expect it to be crunchy like in the Air fryer appliance bakes it up.  Below is my recipe for this delicious summer treat using eggplant you can grow. Inspired by my garden to create this recipe! Eggplant and Herbs In the Garden large fairytale eggplant Eggplant Plants are Beautiful White Eggplant Harvest from One Plant fairytale eggplant I find at local market I highly recommend patio/ container eggplant varieties for this recipe. The great thing about using a patio or container garden eggplant variety is you will not have to soak the slices in salt water to get them to tenderize.  The new varieties are perfect as is! A few patio eggplant varieties I recommend are Fairytale, Rosa Bianca, and Shooting Start.  You can find these by searching your favorite seed companies or ask me.  Below are a few of my favorite ingredients from the garden to use in this recipe.  In today’s feature, I have new basil I am trailing in my garden this summer by Proven Winner.  It is a super fragrant grower and is performing very nice in my super dry summer garden.  This variety grew lovely in my raised bed but would do great in an edible landscape. The basil was used in the pasta sauce along with garnish. About The Basil the first Italian sweet basil that is resistant to downy mildew, a disease that often plagues basil. And since it’s sterile, this large, vigorous plant produces a higher yield of usable, deliciously aromatic leaves. – Proven Winners  In The Kitchen Photos in the kitchen while creating fun meals like the Air Fryer Eggplant is one of my favorite things to do.  Here are a few images that I hope will help you create this recipe for your family and friends.  Don’t be afraid to try new things in this appliance.

Pin Print Tomato Tuna Melt Recipe Recipe by Bren HaasCourse: MainCuisine: AmericanDifficulty: EasyServings 2 servingsPrep time 10 minutesBaking Time 3 minutes Ingredients 2 medium tomatoes 6 ounce tuna (from can drained) 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt 1 tablespoon fresh basil 2 tablespoon or red onion, chopped 2 tablespoons of red bell peppers, diced 2 slices of Pepper Jack Cheese Directions Use a pairing knife to remove the top of the tomato. Save the “guts” of the tomato to use in the recipe. Set tomato cups aside In a bowl, mix together tuna and yogurt with a fork until well blended. Add all remaining herb and vegetable ingredients and mix well with a fork. Scoop the tuna mixture into the tomato cups.  Make sure you stuff the mix into the tomato really well because the moisture will come out while being cooked. Top each tomato with shredded Pepper Jack Cheese before placing on a baking pan or baking dish. I use my Electric Oven Air Fryer to put these together mess-free!
