Ingredients

2 medium zucchini, sliced 1/4-in thick
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup almond flour (super-fine)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 large egg, beaten
as needed olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

1

Pat 2 sliced 1/4-in thick medium zucchini slices dry thoroughly with paper towels. This is essential for crispiness.
2

In a shallow dish, mix together 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup almond flour (super-fine), 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
3

Dip each zucchini slice in the 1 beaten large egg, letting the excess drip off, then press firmly into the Parmesan coating on both sides.
4

Preheat the air fryer to 400 F (200 C). Lightly spray the basket with olive oil cooking spray.
5

Arrange coated zucchini in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between slices. Work in batches as needed.
6

Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crisp. Serve immediately.

Questions

Can I make Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Chips dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Chips keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Chips?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
