Description

These crispy air fryer zucchini chips are a delightful and healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks. Perfect for using fresh garden zucchini, they are coated in a savory panko and Parmesan mixture and air fried to golden perfection. Serve them with marinara sauce or your favorite creamy dip for a delicious appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Coating Mix

  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Prepare all ingredients by measuring and slicing the zucchini thinly to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the zucchini chips cook evenly and develop a crispy texture.
  3. Prepare Coating: On a plate, combine the panko bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese thoroughly to create a flavorful coating mix.
  4. Coat Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten egg, then dredge it into the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Place coated slices on a wire baking rack to set.
  5. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray both sides of the coated zucchini slices with cooking spray to promote crisping during air frying.
  6. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Air Fry: Cook the slices in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes, then flip each slice carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes to achieve even crispiness.
  8. Repeat Cooking: Repeat the air frying process with any remaining batches of zucchini slices until all are cooked and crispy.

Notes

  • Add garlic powder, Italian herbs, or Cajun spice mix to the bread crumbs for a flavor variation.
  • Ensure zucchini slices are thin and uniform for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to maintain crispiness.
  • Serve immediately for best texture.
