Air Fryer Parmesan Zucchini Chips
Description
Air Fryer Parmesan Zucchini Chips blend simple ingredients—zucchini, flour, eggs, seasoned breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese—into a breaded coating that crisps up in the air fryer. The method involves a three-step breading process ensuring the slices are evenly coated and flavorful. Cooking at 400°F briefly on each side crisps the outer layer to a golden brown while keeping the zucchini tender inside. The Italian seasoning and black pepper add a herbaceous and mildly spicy note complementing the nutty Parmesan.
The air fryer reduces oil usage compared to traditional frying but still achieves a crunchy texture on the chips. These chips can serve as a healthier alternative to fried snacks, maintaining satisfying crispness and flavor. They can be enjoyed alone or served alongside dips or as a side for casual meals.
Ingredients
- 3 zucchini medium
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 2 egg large
- 1 cup bread crumbs panko or italian bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tsp Cooking spray oil
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a large, shallow plate.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs together and set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese.
- Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices. Dip each round into the flour mixture, followed by the egg mixture, then the breadcrumb mixture.
- Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the zucchini in the basket in a single layer. Spray the zucchini chip tops with a light coat of cooking spray.
- Air fry at 400°F for 5 minutes. Turn the zucchini over and air fry for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
