These crispy air fryer zucchini chips with garlic parmesan are a quick, easy, and guilt-free snack that delivers a crunchy, savory punch perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced into 1/8-inch rounds
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil spray
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 2 medium zucchinis. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice into 1/8-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a shallow bowl, beat 1 large egg. In another bowl, mix ½ cup finely grated parmesan, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Add ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning if desired.
  3. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg, letting excess drip off, then dredge into the parmesan-seasoning mix. Press lightly so the coating sticks well. Lay them out on a plate ready for frying.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer—avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp. Watch closely around the 7-minute mark to prevent burning.
  6. Transfer chips to a wire rack or paper towels to cool slightly to prevent sogginess. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If chips seem soft right out of the air fryer, air fry an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp. Avoid stacking chips while warm to maintain crunch. For baking alternative, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes flipping halfway. Store leftovers in an airtight container lined with paper towels for up to 2 days and re-crisp in air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes.
