  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Method

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

  5. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chips are crispy and golden.

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • For extra crispiness, soak the eggplant slices in salt water for 30 minutes before drying.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispiness for up to 2 days.
  • Experiment with different seasonings like cayenne pepper or nutritional yeast for added flavor!
