Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works well for extra crunch)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for added flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the zucchini: Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Season and coat: In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip each zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
- Air fry the zucchini: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dip.
These Air Fryer Zucchini Chips are a crispy, flavorful treat that’s perfect for satisfying your snack cravings in a healthier way. Enjoy them as a tasty snack or side dish!
