Ingredients

Chips
2 medium zucchini, sliced ⅛-inch thin
1 tbsp olive oil
Coating
½ cup grated Parmesan
⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Dipping
Marinara sauce or ranch

Equipment

  • Mandoline Slicer
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Slice zucchini into even ⅛-inch rounds using a mandoline. Pat completely dry with paper towels — this is critical.

  2. 2

    Toss slices in olive oil. Mix Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.

  3. 3

    Press each round into the coating on both sides. Arrange in a single layer — no overlapping.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp on the edges.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately with marinara or ranch for dipping.

💡

Tip: The mandoline is non-negotiable — uneven slices mean some burn while others stay soggy. Dry them thoroughly or the coating won't stick.
