Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium to large Zucchini
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Slice Zucchini: Slice the zucchini into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
  2. Prepare Coatings: In a small bowl, mix flour with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. In a third bowl, combine panko bread crumbs with grated parmesan cheese.
  3. Coat Zucchini Slices: Dip each zucchini slice first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip into the beaten eggs, removing any extra egg. Finally, press the slice into the panko and parmesan mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
  4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, leaving space between slices. Spray the top side lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  5. Air Fry First Side: Cook at 375°F for 6 minutes to start crisping and browning the slices.
  6. Flip and Continue Cooking: Flip each zucchini chip over, spray the other side with cooking spray, and air fry for an additional 5 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Ensure zucchini slices are not too thick or thin for optimal crispness.
  • Use a parchment liner designed for air fryers if you want easier cleanup.
  • Spraying with non-stick cooking spray is key to achieving a crispy exterior.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture as zucchini chips may soften when cooled.
  • These chips make a great healthy alternative to traditional fried snacks.
