Crunchy, cheesy fried zucchini chips without the guilt of deep frying. This is the perfect way to make use of those abundant zucchini from the garden! Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

8.7.18 I think I may have sliced my zucchini too thinly. Next time, I’ll aim for about 1/8” thickness, so I'll get more of the zucchini taste. These were crispy, crunchy good, and the parmesan flavor in the breading really shines through. Instead of marinara, I served with Sun-Dried Tomato Dip, another good recipe on this site. Always looking for tasty air fryer recipes, and this one will be added to my collection. Thanks, Nikki, for sharing your recipe. Read More

This is the only thing I have made in my air fried that I didn't like. Too much cheese in the breading that didn't fall off. Read More

I am new to air frying, so I followed the recipe as written using the suggestion to cut them 1/8” thick. The zucchini chips were good and I served them with marinara sauce. By themselves, they were a bit bland since there was only Parmesan and panko. Next time, I will add a some salt and pepper. I had way more panko mixture than I needed, so will adjust that quantity down or double the amount of zucchini. Perhaps what I think of as a medium zucchini is smaller than the writer’s definition. 11/23/2019 Update: I instead of salt and pepper, I used an Italian Seasoning blend. Since it was the kind you grind fresh, I didn’t measure, I just added enough by sight to the panko and Parmesan. Also, I used the same panko mixture on boneless skinless chicken thighs. I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper and the same Italian seasoning and let it sit for 10 minutes. I then dipped the chicken in egg and dredged it through the panko mixture to cover. I cooked them in a pre-heater air fryer at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. I flipped them halfway thru to insure even browning on both sides. Read More

I made this as is except added a a few extra minutes at the end for extra crispiness. We ate them as Super Bowl appetizers. Much better in the air fryer than in the oven. Read More
