This quick Brazilian home-style vegetable side is made by salting eggplant slices to draw out bitterness, then crisping them in an air fryer with olive oil and Parmesan. The recipe is low-carb and keto-friendly and contains no grain flour.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Salt the eggplant

10 min

Salt the eggplant slices generously and arrange them in a colander. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out the bitter liquid, then pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels.

2

Season the eggplant

5 min

Toss the dried slices with olive oil, garlic powder, and thyme.

3

Cook in the air fryer

10 min

If you do not have an air fryer, you can use a preheated 200°C / 390°F oven for the same amount of time. Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C / 390°F for 8 minutes. Turn them over, sprinkle with Parmesan, and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden.

Reminder

After salting the eggplant, squeeze out the liquid thoroughly; otherwise, it will steam in the air fryer instead of crisping. Allergen: contains milk and dairy products.

Parmesan bulamadığım için rendelenmiş kaşarla denedim, çıtırlığı biraz azaldı ama lezzeti yine de güzeldi. 10 dakikalık tuzlama süresini atlamadım, patlıcan sulu çıkmadı ve airfryer sepetine yapışmadan çıktı.

Kaşarla denemeniz mantıklı, sadece kaşar parmesana göre daha fazla nem tuttuğu için çıtırlık biraz düşer. Daha çıtır isterseniz kaşarı ince rendeleyip miktarını biraz azaltmayı deneyebilirsiniz.
