Description
Crispy air fryer zucchini chips with parmesan ready in just 10 minutes. A snack that feels indulgent but is naturally low-carb, with golden lacy parmesan edges around tender zucchini rounds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large zucchini (medium-firm, not too watery)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (freshly shredded works best)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly.
- Slice into ¼-inch rounds using a sharp knife, keeping the thickness consistent.
- Transfer the zucchini rounds to a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Gently toss until every slice is coated.
- Arrange the seasoned zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Sprinkle shredded parmesan over the top.
- Set the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
- Open the basket, carefully flip each round, and sprinkle more parmesan on the other side.
- Close and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
- Serve immediately with spicy mayo, ranch, or marinara for dipping.
Notes
Use freshly shredded parmesan from the refrigerated section, not the powdered kind in the green can. Don't overcrowd the basket, work in batches if needed for proper crisping. Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels before seasoning for extra crispiness.
