Cooking Time

It’s best to keep in mind that the cooking time will vary depending on the size of the eggplant. The bigger and thicker the vegetable, the longer it will take. Or it may take less, if it’s smaller. The time can also vary depending on your air fryer. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.

Chili Oil

Chili oil is amazing and makes everything taste 100 times better. You can buy chili oil at the store or you can make your very own at home where you can make it to your preferences. While the basics are chili flakes and oil you can also add cinnamon, cardamon pods, cloves, anise, bay leaves and so on. There are plenty of recipes online to choose from.
