Air Fryer Zucchini Chips
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian, Mediterranean-style
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Cooking spray (olive oil or avocado oil)
Instructions
- Wash the zucchini and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Slice them into uniform rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Use a paper towel to blot the slices again to remove excess moisture; this is the secret to preventing sogginess.
- In one small bowl, beat the egg. In a second shallow bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, PTarmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir the dry mixture until well combined.
- Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Then, press the slice into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Press firmly so the crumbs stick to the vegetable.
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Place the coated slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overlap them, as they need space for air to circulate. Lightly spray the tops with a bit of cooking oil.
- Cook the zucchini chips for 8 to 10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the chips over and give them another light spray of oil. They are done when they turn deep golden brown and feel crisp to the touch.
