Ingredients

  • 2 eggplants
  • cup oat fiber
  • 2 medium eggs beaten
  • 1 cup Parmesan vegetarian brand
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Cut the eggplant into 1cm slices

Set up your dipping station

  • Using 3 shallow bowls, place the oat fiber in one, the egg wash in other. The parmesan and seasoning go in the final bowl and are mixed.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 190C/380F degrees (this usually takes 3 minutes).
  • Dip the eggplant slices into the oat fiber, then the beaten egg and finally the seasoned parmesan. Continue until all slices are coated.
  • Place about 4 slices in the air fryer basket (will depend upon the size of the air fryer and eggplant slices) and give them a light spray with oil.
  • Cook at 190C for 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Repeat until all eggplant slices are cooked.
  • Spoon a third of the Marinara sauce over a baking dish. I used an 8 inch circular dish but any size can be used.
  • Place a layer of the eggplant slices on the Marinara sauce.
  • Sprinkle a third of the Mozzarella over the eggplant.
  • Repeat the layers and end with a topping of Mozzarella
  • Bake in the oven at 190C/375F degrees for 20-25 minutes until the mozzarella is golden and bubbling.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
