Air Fryer Zucchini Chips
Recipe Overview
Overview
Air Fryer Zucchini Chips are a fantastic way to enjoy a healthy snack without sacrificing flavor or texture. The process begins with creating a simple dredging station, which includes flour, an egg and milk mixture, and a blend of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Slicing the zucchini into thin rounds is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch. The air fryer does its magic by cooking them evenly at a high temperature, resulting in a satisfying snack that can be enjoyed on its own or with a dip.

For a dip, a simple mixture of sour cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning complements the chips beautifully. This recipe is not just about making a snack; it’s about creating a delightful experience that can be shared with friends and family. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or just looking for a quick bite, these zucchini chips are sure to impress.
