I don’t even like Eggplants, but this Air Fryer Chinese Eggplant recipe is seriously delicious. Air Fryer Chinese Eggplant is savory, spicy, and easy to make at home. All you need is 20 minutes, and you can make a Chinese BBQ-inspired Eggplant home. Plus, the secret spicy garlic sauce is so delicious; drizzle that sauce on top of any roasted vegetable, and I promise it will taste just like the ones you get at Chinese BBQ restaurants!
