These crispy Parmesan zucchini chips are a quick, addictively crunchy snack made in the air fryer with simple ingredients and a perfect balance of seasoning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry zucchinis thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice into thin rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
  2. Lay slices on paper towels and gently pat dry to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the zucchini, then toss lightly again to distribute the cheese.
  5. Lay zucchini slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket or tray. Avoid overlapping; cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping slices halfway through cooking to promote even browning. Watch closely toward the end to avoid burning.
  7. Transfer chips to a cooling rack or plate lined with paper towels. Let cool for a few minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Dry zucchini slices thoroughly before seasoning to avoid soggy chips. Cook in a single layer without overlapping for best crispiness. Flip chips halfway through air frying for even browning. Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture. If no air fryer is available, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheat in air fryer or oven to restore crispness.
