Air Fryer Eggplant Chips – Crispy Parmesan & Rosemary Snack

Looking for a delicious alternative to traditional potato chips? These Air Fryer Eggplant Chips are a savory, satisfying snack made with fresh eggplant, grated Parmesan cheese, fragrant rosemary, and a little olive oil. They’re wonderfully flavorful, with golden edges and a crisp texture that makes them perfect for snacking, sharing, or serving alongside your favorite sandwiches.

One of the best things about this recipe is its simplicity. You only need a handful of ingredients, and the air fryer does most of the cooking. Eggplant has a mild flavor that pairs beautifully with salty Parmesan and aromatic rosemary. As the slices cook, the cheese develops a savory finish while the rosemary adds a fresh, herbal note.

The secret to making crispy eggplant chips is cutting the slices evenly and allowing hot air to circulate around them. Thin slices generally become crispier than thick ones, so aim for approximately ¼-inch slices as directed in the recipe. Patting the eggplant dry before seasoning can also help remove surface moisture.

To prepare the chips, slice a large eggplant into even rounds. Place the slices in a mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in the air fryer without overcrowding, working in batches if necessary.

Cook at 400°F according to your air fryer’s instructions, checking regularly for browning and crispness. The recipe lists approximately 30 minutes, although cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model and thickness of the slices. Let the finished chips cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

For consistent slices, a mandoline vegetable slicer can be helpful. Always use its hand guard to protect your fingers.

Serve these Air Fryer Eggplant Chips as an afternoon snack, a party appetizer, or a crunchy side dish. They’re especially delicious with a creamy garlic dip, ranch dressing, or your favorite homemade sauce.

With their Parmesan coating, fresh rosemary flavor, and crispy edges, these homemade eggplant chips are an easy way to enjoy a familiar vegetable in a completely different form.
