Air Fryer Parmesan Zucchini Chips Crunchy Snack Delight

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• to taste salt and pepper
• as needed olive oil spray

Instructions

1. Prep the Zucchini: Start by washing the zucchinis. Cut off the ends and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Zucchini: Lightly spray the zucchini slices with olive oil. This helps the coating adhere better. One by one, dip each slice into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step ensures the zucchini chips will crisp up nicely.
5. Air Fry the Chips: Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking. You may need to do this in batches. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
6. Serve: Once done, remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Serve them warm as a snack or appetizer.
