Air Fryer Zucchini Chips are breaded with Panko crumbs and Parmesan cheese and cooked until perfectly crispy with just a minimal amount of oil.
A great way to use up surplus zucchini and make a yummy appetizer. Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
How To Make Air Fryer Zucchini Chips:
- Slice the zucchini fairly thin. I do somewhere between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch in thickness.
- Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on a plate.
- Whisk together the eggs and water in a bowl.
- Combine the Panko crumbs and Parmesan cheese on a second plate.
- Coat each zucchini slice in the flour mixture, dip in egg mixture making sure to completely coat both sides, and then press both sides into the Panko crumb mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Spray both sides of the zucchini chips with oil and spray the air fryer basket.
- Place in a single layer in the basket (you will need to cook in batches). Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping them over and spraying them with a little more oil halfway through.
Once you are done cooking all of them, you can place them back in the air fryer basket and reheat them for 2 minutes or so.
Recipe Tips:
Cooking times can vary between air fryers, so use the cooking time as an estimate and don’t be afraid to take a few peaks to see how they are progressing.
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes.
