Categories     Vegetables

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 zucchini, medium
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c seasoned bread crumbs (with Pecorino Romano cheese)
1/2 c Panko bread crumbs
salt
olive oil spray

Steps:

  • 1. Slice zucchini into slices, about 1/4-inch thick each. Sprinkle salt on top and bottom. This helps draw out the moisture. Let slices sit about 15 minutes.
  • 2. Blot the moisture with a paper towel.
  • 3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs.
  • 4. In another bowl, mix the Panko and bread crumbs together.
  • 5. Dip the zucchini slices into the egg and then the bread crumb mixture.
  • 6. In a single layer, place the zucchini slices in the air fryer basket. Spray with olive oil.
  • 7. Fry at 390 degrees for a total of 8 minutes. Flip the slices after 4 minutes. Spray the other side with more olive oil. Continue cooking for the remaining 4 minutes.
  • 8. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose medium-sized zucchinis, as they have the best texture for making chips. Larger zucchinis tend to be too watery and may not crisp up properly.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly so that they cook evenly. Use a mandoline slicer for best results.
  • Toss the zucchini slices with a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help ensure that the chips cook evenly.
  • Cook the zucchini chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket, or the chips will not cook properly.
  • Cook the chips for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Check on the chips periodically to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the zucchini chips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Air fryer zucchini chips are a healthy and delicious snack or side dish. They are crispy, flavorful, and easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can enjoy these delicious chips anytime. Experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite flavor combination.
