Alright, fine - air fryers *are* awesome.

Try this miso eggplant ASAP.

Hi friends,

I have to admit: for a long time, I was pretty anti-air fryer. As a professional recipe developer, I’m just used to using my oven for roasting – even in the summer. And as a Brooklyn-dweller with a small kitchen, I’m always hesitant to bring in any new gear, especially something so bulky.

But! Thanks to a couple of recent freelance projects that required its use, I’ve been enjoying experimenting with this gadget. It cooks things super quickly and heats up our apartment waaay less. And in the case of cooking eggplant, which usually calls for a lot of oil and time, the air fryer requires exponentially less of both resources.

I’m so excited to share this air fryer miso eggplant with you. Inspired by Japanese nasu dengaku, it’s simple to make yet tastes and looks restaurant-fancy.

No time to read right now? Pin the recipe for later.
