Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 cutting board
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 baking sheet optional
- 1 paper towels
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini About 1 pound.
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs Preferably whole wheat.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by washing the zucchinis. Trim the ends and slice them into thin rounds, about ¼ inch thick.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- In another bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until they are well coated.
- Take each zucchini slice and dip it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are covered evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the breaded zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. You may need to work in batches.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the zucchini chips halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
- Once done, remove the chips from the air fryer and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are!
Notes
For a gluten-free option, you can substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
If you like extra spice, feel free to add red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
Experiment with different seasonings such as paprika or ranch seasoning for varied flavors.
