Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Chips Simple Tasty Treat

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• to taste salt and pepper
• 0.25 cup olive oil (or cooking spray for a lighter version)

Instructions

1. Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife for even cooking.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini slices or use a cooking spray to lightly coat them.
5. Toss the zucchini slices in the oil until they are evenly coated.
6. Dip each zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere evenly on both sides.
7. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
8. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
9. Once done, remove the chips and allow them to cool slightly; they will crisp up even more as they cool.
