Air Fryer Zucchini Chips
Description
Air Fryer Zucchini Chips start with thinly sliced zucchini pieces, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick for even cooking. The slices are dredged sequentially through a flour mixture seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika, then dipped in beaten eggs. Next, they are coated with a breadcrumb mixture combining panko and finely grated Parmesan cheese which crisps up nicely in the air fryer. Arranged in a single layer and lightly sprayed with oil, the zucchini chips are air fried at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway to achieve even browning. The final chips are crispy on the outside with a slight chew from the zucchini inside. They are best served immediately as a snack or side dish.
