Ingredients

Zucchini Chips

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into ¼ inch rounds
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese or Vegan Parmesan
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

For Serving (Optional)

  • Marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) to ensure a hot environment for crisping the zucchini chips evenly.
  2. Prepare Zucchini: Pat the sliced zucchini dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a nice crisp.
  3. Mix Egg Wash & Coating: In a small bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. In a medium bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create a flavorful crumb mixture.
  4. Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice first into the egg wash, then dredge it in the panko mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place coated slices on a plate as you go.
  5. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the coated zucchini slices with extra-virgin olive oil to promote browning and crispiness during air frying.
  6. Air Fry: Arrange the zucchini chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 11 to 13 minutes until they turn crisp and golden brown, adjusting time as needed depending on your air fryer model.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the zucchini chips right away for best crispness. Serve with optional marinara sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

  • Make this recipe vegan by replacing the egg with ¼ cup nut milk mixed with 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed to create an effective binder.
  • For crispier results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
  • Zucchini chips may soften if left to sit; best enjoyed freshly air fried.
  • The Instant Pot Omni Plus Air Fryer is recommended but any similar air fryer can be used.
