For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture. Ensure the eggplant slices are of uniform thickness for even cooking. If you prefer a richer flavor, use freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese instead of Parmesan. To prevent sticking, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
