Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan Rounds (Gluten Free)
Equipment
- Airfryer
Ingredients
- 2 Jars Marinara Sauce (I used Barilla since I knew it was gluten free)
- 2 lbs Reduced fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 Eggplants
- 3 Eggs
- Olive oil cooking spray or Olive Oil
- Gluten free breadcrumbs (use regular bread crumbs if you aren't gluten free)
- Parchment Paper
- Aluminum Foil
- Gluten Free Pasta For serving on the side
Instructions
- Set up a little assembly line with the 3 eggs, beaten, and the gluten free breadcrumbs.Peel and then cut up your eggplant into large 1 inch thick rounds.Dip the eggplant rounds into the egg mixture first.Then dip the eggplant rounds into the gluten free breadcrumbs to cover fully. The gluten free breadcrumbs we usually use are the 4C brand. If you like panko, you'll love 4C's Gluten Free Breadcrumbs.Place on large cookie sheet until you are ready to put it in your air fryer. Most likely your air fryer is on the smaller side or a basket version and you'll need the space so you can do several rounds in the air fryer.Place on large cookie sheet until you are ready to put it in your air fryer. Most likely your air fryer is on the smaller side or a basket version and you'll need the space so you can do several rounds in the air fryer.When ready, place your rounds in the air fryer - you may need to lightly spray them with olive oil spray or a few drops of olive oil (I also spray the parchment paper I put them on - on top of aluminum foil). The oil spray/oil will help them act more like the fried versions.AirFry at 400 degrees for around 25 minutes, flipping over at the 12 minute mark.Once all your rounds are done, add a tablespoon of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.Place them back in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 1-2 minutes. Serve with the gluten free or regular pasta of your choice.
