Ingredients

2 servings

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • ¾ cup walnuts, crushed
  • ¼ cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 large eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • sea salt to taste
  • ¾ cup marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pinch dried oregano, or to taste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Liberally coat basket with cooking spray.
  • Combine crushed walnuts, bread crumbs, and basil in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer in the prepared air fryer basket (slight overlapping is okay). Mist the tops of the eggplant slices liberally with cooking spray and lightly sprinkle with garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt. Top with walnut bread crumb mixture.
  • Air-fry the rounds until eggplant is soft and golden brown. 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the air fryer and top each slice with about 1 tablespoon marinara sauce and 1 heaping tablespoon mozzarella cheese. Then, sprinkle the slices with Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  • Air-fry until the cheese is hot and bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
