Though if you want some aubergine chips with honey you just have to pass them through a bowl of honey before cooking them in the air fryer.

Prepare battered eggplant chips (although it is not literally battered because it only has a little flour) It is easy, fast and ideal to serve as a starter in a meal.

Tips for a good fryer eggplant chips recipe without oil

• You can mix spices like cayenne or black pepper directly into the flour
• It is not necessary to peel the aubergine but if it is not essential
• Garlic can be put natural or as a spice mixed with wheat flour, although in that case I recommend the garlic and parsley spice
• Check several times that the aubergine chips do not burn or brown very quickly (in this case lower the temperature to 190 ºC)
• It is important that you shake the air fryer basket a couple of times during cooking so that all the chips cook evenly.
• You can accompany the aubergine chips with some saucehere I leave you the recipe for Mexican green sauce in aifryer or the recipe for raspberry and piquillo sauce in aifryer
