Air Fryer Zucchini Chips
Crunchy, golden zucchini chips made in the air fryer, perfect for a healthier snack or side dish.
Ingredients
Veggies
- 2 medium medium zucchinis
Coating
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Spices
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Finish
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick.
- In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini slice in the mixture, pressing so it’s fully coated.
Cooking
- Place coated slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket and spray lightly with olive oil.
- Cook for 10–12 minutes until golden and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through, then serve immediately.
Notes
Pat slices dry before coating to help them crisp up evenly. Don’t overcrowd the basket; work in batches for best results. Adjust cooking time slightly for thinner or thicker slices to avoid burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container and re-crisp in the air fryer for a few minutes. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne to the coating or serve with a tangy sauce like air fryer buffalo cauliflower on the side.
