Ingredients: 2-3 small zucchini ½ cup flour 2 tsp paprika ½ tsp salt ½ tsp pepper 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs or pork rinds ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese 2 eggs
Slice zucchini into ⅛-¼" thick chips. The chips will cook better if they are uniform size, so using a mandolin slicer is ideal. Put flour, paprika, salt, and pepper in small bowl. Mix them together. In another small bowl add eggs; beat them with a fork to mix. In a third small bowl combine breadcrumbs (or pork rinds) with parmesan cheese. Set air fryer to 400º; let it preheat for 5 min while you dip zucchini chips. Take a slice of zucchini and dip it in flour mixture. Then dip in egg; let egg drip off. Finally dip into breadcrumbs. Place zucchini chip on baking rack; dip more chips while air fryer preheats. Add single layer of zucchini chips in bottom of air fryer basket; spray them with vegetable oil. (*see note) You will have to cook these in batches. Air fry them at 400º for 6-8 min, flipping them at around 4 min. When chips are done they will be brown and crispy. Continue to make batches of chips until finished.
Notes: Using crushed pork rinds instead of panko bread crumbs makes these low carb and keto friendly.
If you don't have an air fryer bake these on a tray at 350º for 10 min, then flip and bake 5 min more.
Do not use a commercial aerosol spray in an air fryer basket. The chemicals in the spray can cause the non-stick coating on the basket to peel. Use a mister bottle filled with oil instead.
