Important Tips
- To get a thick coating and a crunchy exterior, we are double dipping the zucchini slices. You dip each slice in egg first, then in the flour mix, then in the egg again and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Place the zucchini slices in a single layer in the basket and cook in batches.
Frequently Asked Question About Air Fryer Zucchini Chips
Yes, you can. There are many ways to do it.
1. Use almond flour or only parmesan cheese instead of breadcrumbs.
2. Skip the breadcrumbs entirely. Dip each slice in eggs, flour mix, again eggs and then flour mix.
3. Skip breading entirely and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of each slice. Decrease the cooking time to 5 minutes.
I wouldn't suggest using a batter as it will drip through the holes and make a mess.
Make sure your zucchini slices are dry before the breading. Also increase the cooking time.
You can replace the breadcrumbs and all purpose flour with almond flour and lupin flour. Or any suitable low carb alternative.
