Description
These Air Fryer Zucchini Chips are golden, crunchy, and totally addictive. Made with fresh zucchini, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan, they’re a healthier alternative to fried snacks—perfect for dipping, sharing, or enjoying all on your own
Ingredients
2 medium zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Cooking spray or light drizzle of oil
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat zucchini slices dry with paper towels.
Set up 3 bowls: flour (with salt & pepper), beaten eggs, and breadcrumb mix (panko + Parmesan + spices).
Coat zucchini: dip each slice in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture. Press gently so crumbs stick.
Arrange zucchini rounds in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with oil.
Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Slice zucchini evenly for consistent cooking.
For a gluten-free option, use almond flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Best served fresh; reheat leftovers in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
Try dipping in marinara, ranch, or spicy mayo for variety.
