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. 1

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

  2. 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. 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. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

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