This heart-friendly side for grilled meat is made by roasting eggplant in an air fryer until smoky, then mashing it smooth with garlic and olive oil. It brings a roasted flavor to the kitchen without heating the oven.
Wash the eggplants and pierce them in several places with a fork.
Arrange the eggplants in the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C / 390°F for 18 to 20 minutes, turning halfway, until the skins wrinkle and the flesh is soft. If you do not have an air fryer, roast them in a preheated oven using the broiler for a similar amount of time.
Once the eggplants are cool enough to handle, cut them lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon, separating it from the skin.
Mash the eggplant flesh thoroughly with the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Pierce the eggplants in several places with a fork before putting them in the air fryer; otherwise, steam may build up and cause them to burst during cooking. No common allergens are listed in this recipe.
