These Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Chips are a quick, easy, and healthy snack made in the air fryer. They offer a perfect crunchy texture with a savory Parmesan coating, ideal for guilt-free snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced thinly (about 1/8 inch or 3 mm)
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Slice the zucchinis into uniform 1/8 inch (3 mm) rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  2. Pat the zucchini slices dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; mix well.
  4. Add olive oil to the dry zucchini slices and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Lightly press zucchini slices into the Parmesan mixture to coat both sides; avoid overloading.
  6. Arrange the coated slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between each slice.
  7. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and chips feel firm.
  8. Transfer chips to a wire rack or plate to cool slightly; they will crisp up more as they cool.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes if desired.

Notes

Pat zucchini slices dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to prevent steaming. Flip chips gently halfway through cooking. For extra crispness, reheat leftovers in the air fryer. Baking alternative: bake on a wire rack at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, watching closely.
