Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini sliced into 0.125 inch thick pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 0.5 tsp Kosher salt
- Vegetable oil or spray oil for greasing and coating
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Whisk egg in a shallow bowl.
- In a separate shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and salt.
- Coat zucchini slices in egg. Transfer to panko bowl and cover entire chip, pressing panko mixture into the chip on both sides using a fork.
- Spray air fryer basket with oil sprayer or brush with oil. Place zucchini chips in a single layer, leaving space in between. Spray or brush both sides with oil.
- Cook 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the batch is cooking, repeat step 3 to prepare the rest of the zucchini chips. Repeat step 4 and 5 with remaining zucchini.
- Serve with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra crispiness, spray both sides of the breaded zucchini lightly with oil before air frying. For a flour coating that sticks better, dip slices in flour first, then egg, then the panko mixture.
