Air fryers have revolutionized the way we cook, offering a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods. One delightful creation that has gained popularity is air fryer zucchini chips. These crunchy snacks are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. In this article, we’ll explore a mouthwatering recipe for air fryer zucchini chips that will leave you craving for more.
| Prep Time | Cook Time | Serves |
|---|---|---|
| 15 minutes | 12 minutes | 4 |
Ingredients
- 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
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Marinara, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
- Use a clean kitchen towel to pat dry the zucchini and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg. In a medium bowl, combine the panko, almond flour, Parmesan, salt, and several grinds of pepper.
- Dip the zucchini slices into the egg and then into the panko mixture. Place on a plate as you work and then drizzle the slices with olive oil. Place a single layer in the air fryer and air fry for 11 to 13 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
- Serve immediately (they’ll become less crispy as they sit) with marinara for dipping, if desired.
Notes
To veganize this recipe, substitute the egg with a mixture of ¼ cup nut milk combined with 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed. Additionally, I highly recommend using the Instant Pot Omni Plus Air Fryer for optimal results—it’s truly exceptional.
