Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis thinly sliced into 1/8-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  2. Pat the zucchini slices dry on both sides with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Place the dried zucchini slices in a medium bowl and toss with olive oil until evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the oiled zucchini slices and toss gently until all slices are evenly coated.
  6. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping; cook in batches if necessary.
  7. Air fry for 8–12 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  8. Transfer the zucchini chips to a plate and serve immediately while hot and crisp.

Notes

- For extra crisp chips, slice the zucchini as evenly and thinly as possible and dry thoroughly before seasoning.
- Reduce the salt to 1/4 teaspoon if you prefer a less salty chip or if your Parmesan is very salty.
- Use finely grated or powdery Parmesan for better coating and crispier texture.
- Cook the chips in a single layer; overcrowding the basket will lead to softer, less crispy chips.
