Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade snack featuring crispy zucchini chips coated with Parmesan and seasoned breadcrumbs, cooked to perfection in an air fryer for a light, flavorful crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/8-inch rounds
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly to remove excess moisture. Slice into 1/8-inch (about 3 mm) rounds using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
  4. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, letting excess drip off, then press gently into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides. Place coated slices on a plate.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  6. Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
  7. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
  8. Remove chips from the basket and place on a cooling rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and crisp up further. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best crispiness, slice zucchini thinly and evenly, pat dry before coating, and do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Preheat the air fryer before cooking. If chips are soggy, slice thinner or increase cooking time by 1-2 minutes. If burning occurs, lower temperature to 375°F and extend cooking time slightly. Let chips cool on a wire rack to maintain crispiness. For a dairy-free version, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast and eggs with a flaxseed egg.
