Ingredients
Scale
Zucchini and Coating
- 3 medium zucchini
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs (panko or Italian bread crumbs)
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp spray oil (cooking spray)
Instructions
- Prepare Flour Seasoning: In a large, shallow plate, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until well combined to create the seasoned flour base.
- Whisk Eggs: In a separate small bowl, whisk the two eggs until fully blended and set aside.
- Prepare Breading: In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Cut & Coat Zucchini: Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Dip each zucchini slice first into the seasoned flour mixture, then into the whisked eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.
- Air Fryer On One Side: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with the cooking spray. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer without overlapping. Spray the tops of the zucchini chips lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Turn to the Other Side: Air fry the zucchini at 400°F for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip each chip carefully to the other side and continue air frying for another 5 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Remove and serve hot.
Notes
- Use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crunchy texture.
- Adjust salt and Italian seasoning to taste before breading.
- Spraying both the basket and chips ensures even, crispy results.
- Serve immediately for best crispiness, or reheat briefly in the air fryer to refresh.
- Experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder or smoked paprika for flavor variations.
