Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prep the Zucchini: Wash and dry zucchini thoroughly. Trim off ends, then slice into even 1/4-inch rounds. Lay slices on a paper towel-lined cutting board and press another paper towel on top to absorb moisture.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. In another shallow bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix well.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  4. Coat Zucchini: Working in batches, dip zucchini slices into beaten egg, letting excess drip off. Then coat in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently on both sides. Place coated slices on a plate or wire rack in a single layer.
  5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray air fryer basket with olive oil. Place coated chips in a single layer (do not overlap). Lightly spray tops with more oil.
  6. Air Fry: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying the other side with oil. Chips are done when deep golden brown and firm.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove chips and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate. Let cool for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat zucchini very dry to ensure crispiness. Use a mandoline for even slices. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Serve immediately for best texture. Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
