Description

Crispy and delicious Air Fryer Parmesan Zucchini Chips are a healthy snack or side dish made by breading zucchini slices with a flavorful mixture of flour, Italian seasoning, eggs, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese, then air frying until golden and crunchy.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (panko or Italian bread crumbs)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp spray oil

Main Ingredient

  • 3 medium zucchini

Instructions

  1. Prepare Flour Seasoning: In a large, shallow plate, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  2. Whisk Eggs: In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs until fully blended and set aside for coating the zucchini slices.
  3. Prepare Breading: In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese to create the crispy coating mixture.
  4. Cut & Coat Zucchini: Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Dip each round first into the seasoned flour mixture, then the whisked eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.
  5. Air Fryer Preparation: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking and arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer without overlapping.
  6. Add Cooking Spray: Lightly spray the top of the zucchini chips with cooking spray to ensure they crisp evenly during air frying.
  7. Air Fry First Side: Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the zucchini for 5 minutes on one side until it starts to turn golden.
  8. Turn and Air Fry Second Side: Carefully flip the zucchini slices over and air fry for an additional 5 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Remove and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular Italian breadcrumbs.
  • You can adjust the seasoning to taste by increasing or decreasing the salt and Italian seasoning.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook the zucchini chips in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent them from crisping properly.
  • Serve these chips with a side of marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
