Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/8-inch rounds (approx. 1 lb / 450g)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions:

  1. Toss sliced zucchini with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Use paper towels to firmly pat every slice dry to remove surface moisture.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten egg and then press firmly into the Panko-Parmesan mixture.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange chips in a single layer in the basket without stacking.
  4. Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through to ensure an even, golden-brown finish on both sides.
