Print Recipe

These crispy zucchini chips are a quick, healthy snack made without breadcrumbs, using Parmesan cheese for a deliciously cheesy crust. Perfect for snacking or parties, they are easy to prepare in an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly. Slice into 1/4-inch (about 0.6 cm) rounds, keeping them even in thickness.
  2. In one bowl, lightly whisk the egg white until frothy (about 1 minute). In another bowl, combine grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg white, allowing excess to drip off. Press into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides well. Lay coated slices on a plate.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place zucchini slices in a single layer without overlapping. Cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes. Flip each chip using tongs or a spatula, then cook for another 4-6 minutes until golden and crisp. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
  7. Transfer chips to a wire rack or paper towels and let cool for about 5 minutes to crisp up further.
  8. Serve immediately warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Pat zucchini slices dry before coating to remove excess moisture for crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Flip chips halfway through cooking. For dairy-free option, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast and egg white with a flax egg. Oven baking is possible at 425°F (220°C) on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
