Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Parmesan Chips

  • Author: Lina
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A healthy, crunchy snack made with just five ingredients. These zucchini chips are coated in parmesan and panko breadcrumbs, then air-fried to golden perfection for a guilt-free treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Wash the zucchini and trim off the ends. Slice them into rounds about 1/8-inch thick.
  2. Lay the slices in a single layer on paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and press firmly to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for crispiness.
  3. In a small bowl, toss the dried zucchini slices with olive oil and garlic powder until lightly coated.
  4. In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
  5. Press each zucchini slice into the panko-parmesan mixture, coating both sides lightly.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
  8. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with a tiny bit more olive oil.
  9. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip the chips.
  10. Cook for another 4-6 minutes, checking frequently, until golden brown and crispy.
  11. Remove from air fryer and let cool for 2 minutes on a wire rack or paper towel to set the crunch.
  12. Season with a tiny pinch of salt if needed and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure zucchini slices are thoroughly dried before coating to prevent sogginess. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for best results. These chips are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness. Do not refrigerate as they will become soggy.
