Description

Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Zucchini Chips make a perfect healthy snack or side dish. These thinly sliced zucchini rounds are seasoned with garlic, onion powder, and black pepper, air fried to a perfect crunch, then topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Zucchini Chips

  • 1 large zucchini (sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds)
  • Salt (as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini: Slice the zucchini into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Transfer to a colander and salt generously to draw out moisture. Let it rest for 15-30 minutes, then rinse the salt off and pat the slices dry with paper towels, pressing to remove as much moisture as possible.
  2. Season the slices: In a large bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, and ground black pepper. Toss well to ensure an even coating on all slices.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
  4. Air fry the zucchini: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overlapping. Air fry for 10-11 minutes, flipping each slice halfway through cooking using tongs, until the chips are crispy and golden.
  5. Add finishing touches: Once cooked, transfer the zucchini chips to a serving bowl. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley evenly over the top.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while crispy for the best texture and flavor. These chips make a delicious, healthy snack or side dish.

Notes

  • Salting the zucchini and letting it drain is key to achieving crispy chips by removing excess moisture.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for the crispiest chips.
  • You can substitute Parmesan with a vegan cheese option for a dairy-free version.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container and re-crisp briefly in the air fryer if needed.
