Tips for a good recipe for aubergines with tomato sauce and cheese in a airfryer

• The eggplant itself is a bitter vegetable, that's why it is important to soak it in water and salt for at least 2 hours before cooking it
• I prefer to mix the homemade tomato with the oregano separately and then add it on top of the aubergines
• Both the quantities and the spices are to taste (you can change what you want)
• I leave the grated cheese on the top layer to gratin
• You can heat the whole set in the air fryer but if your pan is too big in the microwave or oven for a few minutes is also done

Substitution of ingredients

• Eggplants ➡️ Zucchini (We would save ourselves from soaking, and the cooking time would be less)
• Homemade natural tomato ➡️ Fried tomato without sugar or crushed natural tomato if you like
• Shredded mozzarella cheese ➡️ Shredded gouda cheese (it's very good) or any other grated cheese, although you can also add chunky goat cheese or provolone
• Spices ➡️ You can add more or substitute by some such as powdered parsley, nutmeg or herbs de Provence
