A quick and easy snack recipe for crispy, cheesy zucchini chips made in the air fryer. Perfect for a guilt-free crunchy treat in just 12 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 2 medium zucchinis thoroughly. Slice into thin rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick using a sharp knife or mandoline.
  2. In one bowl, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a second bowl, beat 2 large eggs until smooth.
  4. In a third bowl, place 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Dip each zucchini slice first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with Parmesan cheese. Lay coated slices on a plate or baking sheet.
  6. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  7. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray. Place zucchini slices in a single layer without overlapping. Spray tops lightly with cooking spray.
  8. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 6 minutes.
  9. Flip each chip carefully using tongs or a spatula, spray lightly again with cooking spray, and cook for an additional 6 minutes until golden and crispy.
  10. Let chips cool for 1-2 minutes before serving to allow them to crisp up further.

Notes

Pat zucchini slices dry before coating to avoid sogginess. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispiness. Flip chips halfway through cooking for even browning. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or chickpea flour. Nutritional yeast can replace Parmesan for a vegan option. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness.
