Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini and Coating

  • 2 medium zucchini (medium-sized)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp. milk (oat, cashew, or soy)
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned)
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ – ¾ tsp. salt (to taste)
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Slice the Zucchini: Cut the zucchini into ¼-inch thick slices, discarding both ends to ensure uniformity for even cooking.
  2. Prepare Coatings: In two separate shallow bowls, whisk together the egg and milk in the first bowl. In the second bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
  3. Coat Zucchini Slices: Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then firmly press it into the breadcrumb mixture to fully coat. Repeat until all slices are coated.
  4. Air Fry the Zucchini: Place half of the coated zucchini slices in a single layer inside a 6-quart air fryer basket. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Air fry at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure even crisping. Repeat with the remaining slices.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the crispy zucchini chips warm with your choice of dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch dressing, or a special sauce.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh medium-sized zucchini with firm skin.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • You can substitute Italian seasoned breadcrumbs with plain breadcrumbs and add Italian seasoning if preferred.
  • Adjust salt to taste depending on dietary preferences.
  • Pair with low-fat or dairy-free dips to keep the snack light and healthy.
