Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Firstly, cut the end top off the aubergines and slice into long “chip” shapes. You should get about 9 bits per aubergine.
Add to a large bowl along with the tamari/soy, maple syrup and sesame oil. Gently mix together until all the aubergine is covered.
Transfer to a large air fryer basket and air fry for 6 minutes at 200°C (390°F). Transfer any of the leftover sauce from the bowl into a small bowl for dipping into later.
Remove from the air fryer and plate up. Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and parsley (optional) and serve with any of the leftover sauce for dipping!

Tip 1: Cooking time may vary based on thickness of the aubergines, size of air fryer, and even style of air fryer.

Tip 2: Place the cooked aubergine on some paper towels if you want to absorb some of the oil after cooking.

Tip 3: There are a lot of ways to play around with this recipe! You could try different seasonings or sprinkle with parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese. Consider a garlic sauce or another favourite dipping sauce if you go this route.
