Ingredients
1 medium zucchini
2 eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Olive oil spray
Instructions
1. Slice the zucchini into 1/8-inch rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
2. In one bowl, whisk eggs. In a second bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg, letting excess drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Place the coated zucchini on a parchment-lined baking sheet or air fryer basket.
5. For oven: Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. For air fryer: Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, shaking once midway.
6. Let cool on a wire rack briefly, then serve hot and crispy with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Slice zucchini evenly to ensure all chips bake or air-fry at the same rate.
Use garlic powder over fresh garlic to prevent burning.
Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or oven to bring back the crispiness.
