Inspired by classic Nile-side cuisine, this salad is made by roasting eggplant in an air fryer and tossing it with chickpeas and cumin. Since it does not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, it is also a light option for a late-night snack.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Roast the Eggplant in the Air Fryer

15 min

Toss the cubed eggplant with the olive oil and roast it in the air fryer at 200°C / 390°F for 15 minutes. If you do not have an air fryer, cook it in a preheated oven for the same amount of time.

2

Toss Together

5 min

Mix the roasted eggplant with the chickpeas, lemon juice, and cumin.

3

Serve

2 min

Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled.

Reminder

Cut the eggplant into evenly sized cubes so the pieces roast evenly in the air fryer. If you do not have an air fryer, you can also cook them in a preheated oven.
