Begin by washing the eggplant thoroughly under cold water. Pat it dry with a towel. Using a sharp knife, slice the eggplant into ½-inch thick rounds.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced eggplant, avocado oil (or olive oil), paprika, and salt. Toss everything together until the eggplant pieces are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer in the fryer basket.
Air fry the eggplant for about 15-18 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through. Keep an eye on them towards the end.
Once cooked, remove the eggplant from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
