These crispy Zucchini Chips are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks. Made with a crunchy panko and parmesan coating and cooked to perfection in the air fryer, they are perfect as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium to large Zucchini

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan (grated)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs

Instructions

  1. Slice the zucchini: Slice the zucchini into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and a nice crisp texture.
  2. Prepare coating bowls: In one small bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly with a fork. In a third bowl, mix panko bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
  3. Coat the zucchini slices: Dip each zucchini slice first into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs to coat fully, and finally press into the panko and parmesan mixture to evenly cover both sides.
  4. Arrange in air fryer: Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray both sides lightly with non-stick cooking spray to promote browning and crispiness. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Air fry: Cook the zucchini chips at 375°F for 6 minutes, then flip them over and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can double coat the zucchini by repeating the egg and panko steps.
  • Make sure slices are dry before coating to help the batter stick better.
  • Use a light mist of oil spray to keep the chips crispy without adding too much fat.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these at 400°F on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Feel free to add any additional seasoning like garlic powder or paprika to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
