Ingredients
2 medium zucchini

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
olive oil spray
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice into 1/4-inch rounds.
2. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
3. In another shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
4. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
6. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
7. Air fry at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, working in batches if needed, until golden and crispy.
8. Serve immediately with marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Pat the zucchini dry before breading so the coating sticks better and crisps up nicely.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket or the zucchini may steam instead of turning crispy.
Serve right away for the best texture, since zucchini chips are crispiest when freshly cooked.
