Method
-
Wash and dry the aubergines. Cut lengthways from the base almost to the stem without separating the halves, then open gently like a book.
-
Plan for 2 air-fryer batches; the stated total is an estimate for that schedule. If your basket needs more batches, allow extra time and do not stack the food.
-
Brush the flesh with the olive oil and season with the salt.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 5 minutes.
-
Arrange the aubergines cut-side up and cook at 165°C for 25-30 minutes. After 15 minutes, rotate the basket or swap the pieces around, keeping the flesh facing up, to compensate for hotter areas.
-
Check that the flesh yields completely when pressed with a spoon. If still firm, add 4-minute intervals to avoid burning the skin.
