Air Fryer Zucchini Chips Recipe

These crispy air fryer zucchini chips are a healthy and delicious snack or side! Made with simple ingredients and ready in minutes, they’re the perfect low-carb alternative to traditional chips.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large zucchini thinly sliced (about ⅛-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs Panko or Italian seasoned
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Tongs or fork

Method
 

  1. Preheat Air Fryer
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes while preparing the zucchini.
  3. Prepare the Zucchini
  4. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about ⅛ inch thick. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps them crisp up in the air fryer.
  5. Coat the Zucchini
  6. In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
  7. Season the Breadcrumbs
  8. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  9. Dredge the Zucchini
  10. Dip each zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to help the crumbs stick. Set aside on a plate as you coat each piece.
  11. Air Fry the Zucchini
  12. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crispy. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
  13. Serve
  14. Remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve immediately, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce.
