Air Fryer Cauliflower & Aubergine Flatbreads with a Lime Yogurt
- Category: Dinner |
One thing I can't get enough of is flatbreads, and here is a delicious veggie version. Cauliflower and aubergine are both vegetables that take on flavour incredibly well, and here they're coated in spices before going into the air fryer, then paired with zesty tahini yogurt. Simple and so satisfying. I toast my flatbreads in the air fryer, but you could also do this in a dry frying pan.

Is this a healthy vegetarian air fryer recipe?
Yes – this is a nutritious and balanced vegetarian dish, full of fibre, antioxidants, and healthy fats. The lime yoghurt adds protein and a refreshing kick without being heavy.
Can I make the lime yoghurt dairy-free?
Absolutely – swap the Greek yoghurt for a plant-based alternative, like coconut or soy yoghurt, to make it dairy-free and vegan.
What type of flatbreads should I use?
You can use shop-bought or homemade flatbreads, including wholemeal, naan, or even wraps. Warm them briefly in the air fryer or microwave before serving.
Can I add protein to make it more filling?
Yes – top with chickpeas, lentils, or grilled halloumi for extra protein while keeping it vegetarian.
Do I need to salt the aubergine before air frying?
Salting is optional, but doing so for 10–15 minutes before cooking can help remove excess moisture and reduce bitterness, especially if your aubergine is large or seedy.
Is this suitable for meal prep?
Yes – you can roast the vegetables and prep the lime yoghurt in advance, then store them separately in the fridge. Assemble flatbreads when ready to eat.
Can I use other vegetables in this recipe?
Definitely – courgette, red onion, peppers or mushrooms would all work well alongside or instead of the cauliflower and aubergine.
Is this recipe suitable for vegans?
Yes – with one easy swap. Just use dairy-free yoghurt, and you’ll have a fully vegan air fryer flatbread that’s full of flavour and texture.
