- Pat the eggplant slices dry with a paper towel to remove the excess moisture.
- Spread the chia seeds out on a plate and press each side of the eggplant slices into the chia seeds to coat them.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the chia seed-crusted eggplant slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't overlap.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
- Serve the chia seed-crusted air fried eggplant with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
