    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

    Can you make Zucchini Chips without breading?


    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.

    Can you use a batter for chips?

    I wouldn't suggest using a batter as it will drip through the holes and make a mess.

    Why is my chips not crispy?


    Make sure your zucchini slices are dry before the breading. Also increase the cooking time.

    Can you make Air Fryer Zucchini Chips Keto/Low Carb?

    You can replace the breadcrumbs and all purpose flour with almond flour and lupin flour. Or any suitable low carb alternative.

    Notes

    • I double dip the zucchini slices in the egg and flour mix so they will have a thick coating. You can also do only one. Just dip the slices in flour, then egg and finally in breadcrumbs.
    • Make sure you place the breaded zucchini slices in a single layer and cook in batches.
    • You can preheat the air fryer for about 3 minutes.
    • Leftovers can be kept in the fridge covered for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3 to 4 minutes.
