Air fryer roasted spiced aubergine

I use my air fryer to roast vegetables - it’s easier, quicker and cheaper than using an oven, particularly when I don’t need to cook a lot of dishes. For example this air fryer roasted spiced aubergine was ready in just 15 minutes - perfect addition for salads, wraps, stews or you can serve it as a snack or appetizer with tahini or chilli sauce as part of a mezze.
