Crispy and flavorful halal-friendly Air Fryer Zucchini Chips are a healthy alternative to potato chips, made with panko, parmesan, and savory spices.

Ingredients

Scale

2 Medium Fresh Zucchini
1 Cup Halal Certified Panko Breadcrumbs
0.5 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Large Halal Certified Eggs
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
0.5 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
To taste Sea Salt and Black Pepper
As needed Olive Oil Spray

Instructions

  1. Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel
  2. Slice the zucchini into even rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick
  3. Lay the slices on paper towels and sprinkle them with a little salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture
  4. Blot the slices dry again before breading
  5. Whisk the eggs in one shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, combine the panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper
  6. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until well-coated on both sides
  7. Place the coated slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap
  8. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray
  9. Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes. Flip the chips halfway through and give them another quick spray of oil
  10. Remove from the air fryer and let sit for one minute to firm up before serving

Notes

Always salt and blot your zucchini slices to remove moisture; this is the secret to a crispy coating.

Don't skip the oil spray, as it is necessary for browning the breadcrumbs.

Work in batches to allow proper air circulation; overcrowding will cause the chips to steam.

Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 375°F for 2-3 minutes to restore crunchiness.

For a vegan-friendly version, use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan and a flax-egg binder.
