Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1/3 cup bread crumbs
30g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
1 tsp spice mix
5g
1 tsp paprika
5g
4 large zucchini
1200g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Try to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
2. Set Up Breading Stations:
- In the first shallow dish, add the all-purpose white wheat flour.
- In the second shallow dish, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten.
- In the third shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, spice mix, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
3. Bread the Zucchini Slices:
- Take a slice of zucchini and dredge it in the flour, ensuring both sides are coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Dip the floured zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Press the zucchini slice into the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Place the breaded slice on a plate or tray. Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Cook the Zucchini Chips:
- Arrange the breaded zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking; you may need to cook them in batches.
- Air fry the zucchini slices at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
6. Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain their crispiness.
- Serve your delicious air fryer zucchini chips immediately, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips:

- Ensure the zucchini slices are uniformly thin to promote even cooking.

- For a crispier texture, you can sweat the zucchini by sprinkling salt on the slices and letting them sit for about 10 minutes before patting them dry.

- Use cooking spray on the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.

- Keep an eye on the zucchini chips while they cook, as air fryer models may vary in cooking times.

- Try experimenting with different spice mixes to tailor the flavor to your liking.

Air fryer zucchini chips are a versatile and tasty addition to your recipe collection. They're simple to make and perfect for any occasion, from casual snacking to formal gatherings. Enjoy the crisp texture and rich flavors while knowing you're making a healthier choice. Happy cooking and happy eating!
