Place the panko breadcrumbs and salt in a shallow bowl.
Place the flour in a separate bowl. In a third bowl combine the chickpea flour with the water.
Coat the eggplant first in the flour, then dip into the chickpea flour mixture, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl
Now cover the eggplant in the panko breadcrumb mixture, lightly pressing to coat.
Place the eggplant fries side by side in the air fryer, taking care not to over-crowd the basket.
Cook until golden brown, approximately 8 to 9 minutes.
Carefully remove the eggplant fries from the air fryer and serve warm with your favorite dip.
