These Air Fryer Zucchini Chips are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional deep-fried snacks. They are easy to make, crispy, and packed with flavor, perfect for a quick appetizer or snack using simple ingredients and an air fryer.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Main Ingredient

  • 1 large zucchini (sliced ⅓-inch thick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare egg mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the 2 large eggs, 3 tablespoons flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Prepare breadcrumb mixture: In another shallow dish, combine ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs with ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese, mixing them thoroughly for even coating.
  3. Coat zucchini slices: Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then press the slice into the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture, coating evenly. Place each coated slice on a baking sheet for easy transfer.
  4. Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure crispy results.
  5. Air fry zucchini chips (first batch): Arrange half of the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each slice. Lightly spray them with cooking oil. Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes until starting to turn golden and crispy.
  6. Flip and finish air frying: Flip each zucchini chip carefully, spray the other side lightly with oil, and continue air frying for another 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and crunchy.
  7. Repeat for second batch: Remove the cooked batch, then repeat the same process with the remaining zucchini slices.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Once all the chips are done, serve immediately for the best crispiness and enjoy your healthy homemade air fryer zucchini chips.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • You can experiment with different seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian herbs in the breadcrumb mixture for varied flavors.
  • Make sure slices are uniformly thick for even cooking; about ⅓-inch thick is ideal.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket – cook in batches to allow hot air circulation for crispiness.
  • Use a light spray of oil to help the breadcrumbs brown evenly and become crunchy.
