Directions
Air Fried Miso Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetarian dishes to order in a restaurant.
So today I have decided to recreate it at home, in the Air Fryer naturally. This flavorful eggplant dish originates from Japan, hence the name Dengaku Nasu. What I love about it is that the miso paste really softens the eggplant meat and give it a juicy and creamy texture. Additionally, as miso paste is gluten free and vegan friendly, the Miso Eggplant is suitable for almost everyone.
Sprinkling the eggplant with some fresh cilantro is indeed optional. For me, cilantro is one of the herbs that goes well with almost everything and gives it a fresh taste.
Pair this Air fried Eggplant with some steamed rice and you have a full vegetarian and gluten free main meal.
In conclusion, this Air Fried Miso Eggplant is an easy and quick recipe you can make in your Air Fryer. It is suitable for any tastes hence its popularity around the world is consistently growing.
