Ingredients
- 2-3 small zucchini
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs or pork rinds
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini into ⅛ - ¼ inch thick chips. The chips will cook better if they are uniform size, so using a mandolin slicer is ideal.
- Put the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix them together.
- In another small bowl add the eggs and beat them with a fork to mix.
- In a third small bowl combine the breadcrumbs (or pork rinds) with the parmesan cheese.
- Set the air fryer to 400 F and let it preheat for 5 minutes while you dip the zucchini chips.
- Take a slice of zucchini and dip it in the flour mixture. Then dip it in the egg and let the egg drip off. Finally dip into the breadcrumbs. Place the zucchini chip on a baking rack and dip more chips while the air fryer preheats.
- Add a single layer of zucchini chips in the bottom of the air fryer basket and spray them with vegetable oil. (*see note) You will have to cook these in batches.
- Air fry them at 400 F for 6-8 minutes, flipping them at around 4 minutes.
- When the chips are done they will be brown and crispy.
- Continue to make batches of chips until finished.

Notes
- Using crushed pork rinds instead of panko bread crumbs makes these low carb and keto friendly.
- If you don't have an air fryer bake these on a tray at 350 F for 10 minutes, then flip and bake 5 minutes more.
- Do not use a commercial aerosol spray in an air fryer basket. The chemicals in the spray can cause the non-stick coating on the basket to peel. Use a mister bottle filled with oil instead.
