A FRY-day leading into a three-day weekend!? Hell yeah!

I’m just gonna cut to the chase—air fried eggplant is hands down the best way I’ve ever eaten eggplant. And that’s saying a lot… because eggplant parm.

These fries are easy to whip up and make for a delicious snack or side to just about any meal, specifically our Greek Turkey Burgers with Avocado Tzatziki.
