Description

A flavorful Eggplant Napoleon made in the air fryer and garnished with tangy vegan mozzarella. It’s pure plant-based comfort food at its best!

Ingredients

Scale

Eggplant:

  • 3 Tbsp Ground Flax Seed
  • 9 Tbsp Warm Water
  • 1 Medium Eggplant (Sliced into 1/2 inch thick circles)
  • 2 Cups Bread Crumb (Gluten-Free if Needed)
  • 2 Tbsp Flour

Fresh Meditteranean Salsa:

  • 1 Medium Red Onion (Diced)
  • 1 Small Tomato (Diced)
  • 1 Persian Cucumber (Diced)
  • 1/2 Cup Roasted Red Peppers (Diced)
  • 12 Kalamata Olives (Chopped)
  • 3 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Stack

  • 1/2 Cup Hummus or Baba Ganoush
  • 1 Small Tomato (Sliced into Circles)
  • 1 Cup Vegan Mozzarella (Try this recipe for Vegan Fresh Mozzarella!)
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Basil (Chopped for Garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the vegan mozzarella if needed or you can use store bought.
  2. In a wide bowl, combine the ground flax meal and warm water. Stir to combine and allow to set for 10 minutes.
  3. While the flax mixture sits, prepare the produce as directed above. Combine the ingredients for the salsa and set aside.
  4. In another wide bowl, combine the flour and breadcrumb. Dip each piece of eggplant into the flax mixture then into the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Once all pieces are coated, cook them in batches in the air fryer for approx. 20 mins at 400°F. Depending on the size of your machine this may take several batches.
  6. Place a dollop of hummus or baba ganoush and a little salsa on the center of a plate. Top with fried eggplant, mozzarella, tomato, more salsa and hummus in any order you desire. You can make a single stack or a double like pictured.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
  8. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.  We recommend storing them in separate containers if they weren’t already combined into a stack.  This will help to ensure that the eggplant stays crispy.
