## Ingredients

- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 sprinkle sesame seeds

## Instructions

1. Cut the end top off the aubergines and slice into long “chip” shapes. You should get about 9 bits per aubergine.
2. Add to a large bowl along with the tamari/soy, maple syrup and sesame oil. Gently mix together until all the aubergine is covered.
3. Transfer to a large air fryer basket and air fry for 6 minutes at 200°C (390°F). Transfer any of the leftover sauce from the bowl into a small bowl for dipping into later.
4. Remove from the air fryer and plate up. Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and parsley (optional) and serve with any of the leftover sauce for dipping!

## Equipment

- large bowl

## Tips

- Cooking time may vary based on thickness of the aubergines, size of air fryer, and even style of air fryer.
- Place the cooked aubergine on some paper towels if you want to absorb some of the oil after cooking.
- There are a lot of ways to play around with this recipe! You could try different seasonings or sprinkle with parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese. Consider a garlic sauce or another favourite dipping sauce if you go this route.
- If you have trouble with your aubergine coming out soggy, you can try salting the sliced eggplant for an hour or so prior to starting the recipe. This will draw out some liquid. Then drain it, pat it dry, and follow the recipe!
