I've tried them using a method similar to "twice fried" French fries. I salt the sliced eggplant pieces and cook them three or four minutes in the microwave instead of the oven or oil fryer. The combination of salt and microwave drives the moisture out. I let them cool and then fry them in the air fryer. The moisture usually carries most of the salt away with it. I don't coat them with anything. Since my wife will not eat eggplant, I am the only judge and I think they are pretty good.
