Spicy Olive Oil Eggplant | Air-Fryer Roasted with Spices

Toss the cubed eggplant with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast in a preheated air fryer at 190°C / 375°F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally. If you do not have an air fryer, roast it in an oven preheated to 200°C / 390°F for 15 minutes.

Sauté the finely chopped onion in the remaining olive oil until softened. Add the crushed garlic and red pepper flakes, then stir in the grated tomatoes, sugar, and salt. Cook for 8 minutes.

Add the roasted eggplant to the sauce and steam over low heat for 7 more minutes.

Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve cold.
