**Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Chips: A Healthy Snack Delight**
Looking for a delicious and healthy snack? Look no further than Air Fryer Zucchini Chips! These chips are not only easy to make but also a perfect alternative to traditional, greasy potato chips. With a crispy exterior and a tender interior, they are sure to satisfy your snack cravings.
**Ingredients*
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
**Instructions*
1. **Prepare the Zucchinis* Wash and slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. For even cooking, try to keep the slices uniform.
2. **Season the Zucchinis* In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until well-coated. In a separate bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. **Coat the Slices* Dredge each zucchini slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
4. **Air Fry* Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through.
5. **Serve and Enjoy* Let the zucchini chips cool slightly before serving. They’re great on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
**Tips for Perfect Chips*
- **Uniform Slices* Ensure the zucchini slices are of similar thickness to cook evenly.
- **Don’t Overcrowd* Air fryer baskets need space for air circulation. Cook in batches if necessary.
- **Adjust Seasoning* Feel free to tweak the seasoning to your taste. Add cayenne for a spicy kick or experiment with different herbs.
These Air Fryer Zucchini Chips are a fantastic way to enjoy a crunchy snack without the guilt. They are perfect for a quick snack, as a side dish, or even a party appetizer. Give them a try and discover just how satisfying a healthy snack can be!
