Eggplant Fries
1 medium eggplant, cut into fries
1 Tbsp sea salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tsp garlic powder
1 Tsp onion powder
Salt + pepper to taste

1. Cut eggplant into fries, I peeled mine this time, but it completely up to preference. Put fries in a bowl and toss with sea salt to remove some excess moisture from the eggplant. Let sit for 5 minutes.
2. Pat the eggplant dry and drizzle with olive oil and seasonings, toss to coat evenly.
3. Put seasoned eggplant fries in the air fryer at 400F for 14 minutes. You may have to do two batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
4. Top with fresh parsley and the creamy marinara and enjoy!
