Description
Air Fryer Zucchini Parmesan Chips are a delightful snack that combines crispy texture with a cheesy flavor, making them a healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced thinly
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them thinly, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Make the Coating: In a large bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Zucchini: Drizzle olive oil over the zucchini slices and toss gently to coat.
- Dredge the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the coated zucchini chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook the Chips: Air fry the zucchini chips for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Try nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan for a vegan twist.
- Add spices like paprika or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
