This Syrian meze combines sliced eggplant with chili pepper and garlic, then cooks it quickly in an air fryer. It contains no nuts and can be ready in under 15 minutes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Season the eggplant

5 min

Toss the eggplant slices with the chili pepper, garlic, olive oil, cumin, and salt.

2

Cook in the air fryer

12 min

Arrange the slices with space between them in the air fryer basket. Cook in an air fryer set to 200°C / 390°F for 12 minutes, turning them halfway through, until tender with lightly browned edges. If you do not have an air fryer, cook them on a rack in an oven preheated to 200°C / 390°F for the same amount of time.

3

Serve

2 min

Transfer the cooked eggplant to a plate, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Reminder

Do not crowd the eggplant slices in the air fryer basket; they will not cook evenly without space between them. Add the chili pepper to taste, since too much can make the dish unpleasantly hot. This recipe contains none of the major allergens.
