Cooking & Baking Supplies

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients  

  • 1 eggplant
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • sprinkle of salt

Instructions 

  • Wash and dry your eggplant. Using a wide mouth peeler and starting lengthwise on the eggplant skin, peel even and long strips of eggplant. You will need to flip the eggplant as you reach the middle
  • Lightly sprinkle the strips with some salt and let the jerky strips sit for 5-10 minutes with salt. Then pat dry with a dish cloth.
  • While the eggplant sits, preheat the air fryer to 360 for 4 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together coconut aminos, maple syrup, tahini, apple cider vinegar and paprika.
  • Add the eggplant strips to the mixing bowl and coat well with sauce using a pastry brush
  • Line your air fryer with eggplant strips, trying not to overlap the strips too much, but making sure there is enough so they won’t fly around.
  • Cook for 360 and 5 minutes. Repeat until all eggplant strips are done cooking. You might need to add an extra 2 minutes to get them crispy.
  • Move the jerky strips to a bowl and let sit for a couple minutes to crisp up, then ENJOY!
