Ingredients

4 servings

•

0.5 cup Italian bread crumbs
•

0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
•

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
•

1 teaspoon salt
•

0.5 teaspoon dried basil
•

0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
•

0.5 teaspoon onion powder

•

0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•

0.25 cup flour
•

2 large eggs, beaten
•

1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
•

1 cup marinara sauce, or more to taste
•

8 slices mozzarella cheese, or as needed

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 tray 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 of mozzarella cheese. Place the basket back in the air fryer and cook until cheese has started to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining eggplant, if necessary.
Serve hot and enjoy!
