Air Fryer Aubergine
If you're someone that typically enjoys aubergine in parm-form, we hear you. But when you don't feel like setting up a dredging station, the air fryer will give you a slightly crunchy outside with the much-loved creamy inside. Plus, it only needs a little bit of oil to help all of the seasoning stick.

Aubergine Parm Crisps
We love using a mandoline to slice the aubergine because it's easy and makes evenly sized slices. You can totally slice them by hand instead, just make sure they're all the same thinness so they bake at the same rate. Speaking of baking, we recommend you keep a close eye on these chips!

Baba Ghanoush
We like our baba ghanoush GARLICKY. If you don't, skip grating the raw clove in at the end. Without it, you'll have a more subtle (slightly sweet) garlic flavour that will make everyone very, very happy. Accompanied by crudités and pita chips, you really can't go wrong.
