It might be a controversial opinion, but eggplant parmesan was made for the air fryer. Gone are the days of splattering oil, or of eggplant absorbing so much grease it becomes soggy and unappetizing. We think this is one of those simple, delicious keto recipes you'll be reaching for again and again.

Ingredients

 1 eggplant(medium, sliced into 1/2-inch slices)
 1 egg
 1 cup low-carb bread crumbs
 ¼ cup parmigiano reggiano(finely grated)
 ½ tsp Italian seasoning
 sea salt and black pepper(to taste)
 avocado oil spray
 ½ cup low-carb marinara sauce
 4 ½ oz mozzarella ball(sliced)
 2 tsp parsley(chopped fine)

Directions

1

Place the eggplant slices on a clean surface and cover them with paper towel. Let them sit for ten minutes.

2

Preheat the air fryer to 380ºF (195ºC).

4

Coat the eggplant in the egg, followed by the bread crumb mixture. Repeat with the remaining eggplant.

I am a Nurse, wife, and mom. I have spent over 20 years in Healthcare and always took care of everyone else. Finally, after years of yo-yo dieting and failed New Years' resolutions, and complete desperation, I found something that Finally worked for me. I have been doing this Keto/Low carb lifestyle for over 3 years and have lost over 100lbs. My goal was to bring this lifestyle to my family and we went from couch potatoes to our 1st 5k and have lost over 300 lbs. We still have a long way to reach our goals, but we strive to be better every day. I enjoy helping women bring this Keto/Low carb lifestyle to the family.
