These crispy air fryer zucchini chips are a quick, easy, and guilt-free snack featuring a cheesy Parmesan coating and savory Everything Bagel seasoning. Perfect for snacking or parties, they deliver a satisfying crunch without deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/8-inch rounds
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 2 medium zucchinis, then slice into thin rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Pat slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon olive oil. In another bowl, combine 1/3 cup grated Parmesan, 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, letting excess drip off, then press into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides. Place coated slices on a plate.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes, then flip slices carefully and cook an additional 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove chips and let cool slightly on a wire rack or paper towels to keep them crisp. Serve immediately or within 30 minutes for best texture.

Notes

Dry zucchini slices thoroughly before coating to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. Flip chips halfway through cooking for even browning. For gluten-free, substitute panko with gluten-free crackers or almond flour. For dairy-free, replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
