Discover vibrant Air-Fried Moroccan Eggplant & Mushroom Skewers, a healthy, vegan delight packed with flavor. Perfect for clean eating!
Ingredients
- • eggplant: 1 large, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • cremini mushrooms: 8 ounces, halved
- • red onion: 1 medium, cut into wedges
- • red bell pepper: 1, cut into 1-inch pieces
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • ground coriander: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1/4 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • lemon: 1, cut into wedges
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Preparing the air fryer first ensures an even cooking temperature throughout the process.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine eggplant cubes, mushroom halves, red onion wedges, and red bell pepper pieces. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
- 3 Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices. This enhances the flavor and helps the vegetables cook evenly.
- 4 Thread the seasoned vegetables onto skewers, alternating between different types for a colorful presentation. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes before threading to prevent burning.
- 5 Arrange the skewers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- 6 Remove the skewers from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.
Serving Suggestions
- • For a complete meal, pair these skewers with a side of quinoa or couscous tossed with chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. A fresh salad of mixed greens with sliced cucumber and cherry tomatoes complements the dish's warmth and spice. For a refreshing beverage, consider serving mint tea or a lemon-infused sparkling water to cleanse the palate.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the vegetables soggy and diminish their flavor.
