Directions
Leaving peel intact, cut the aubergine into 8 round slices about ¾-inch thick. Salt to taste.
- Beat the egg and water in a shallow dish.
- In another shallow dish, combine the panko, Italian seasoning, Parmesan, and oregano.
- Dip aubergine slices in egg wash and then crumbs, pressing lightly to coat.
- Mist slices with oil or cooking spray.
Insert crisper plates in the baskets. Divide the aubergine slices evenly between both baskets, then insert the baskets into the unit. Select Zone 1. Turn the dial to select AIR FRY. Set the temperature to 200°C and set the time to 8 minutes. Press the MATCH COOK button to copy Zone 1's settings to Zone 2. Press START/ PAUSE to begin cooking in both zones. Cook until brown and crispy.
- While aubergine is cooking, heat marinara sauce.
- To serve, place cooked spaghetti on plates and top with marinara and aubergine slices. At the table, pass extra Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
