Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the eggplant into long, thin strips (about ¼ inch thick) and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy filling.
- Rinse the eggplant strips under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture on one end of each eggplant strip. Roll it up and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
- Lightly spray the rolled eggplants with olive oil and then dip them in panko breadcrumbs to coat.
- Arrange the rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overcrowding.
- Air fry for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Remove from the air fryer, let cool slightly, and serve warm as an appetizer or snack!
Chef’s Tips
- Experiment with different cheeses for the filling to suit your taste.
- Adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley can elevate the flavor profile.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the ham with spinach or roasted peppers.
