Air fryer zucchini chips are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried snacks. Here’s a simple recipe to make tasty air fryer zucchini chips:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use panko for extra crispiness)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
- Prepare the zucchini: Wash and slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Create the coating: In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip the zucchini slices: Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Coat with breadcrumb mixture: After dipping in the eggs, coat each zucchini slice with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it down to adhere the coating.
- Arrange in the air fryer: Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Air fry: Cook the zucchini chips in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Once done, remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning and coating according to your preferences. The air fryer method gives the zucchini chips a nice crispy texture without the need for excessive oil, making them a healthier snack option.
