The Versatile Zucchini
Zucchini is a versatile vegetable with a mild flavor that goes well to various flavor profiles and cuisines.
From zucchini bread to zucchini noodles, there are tons of different ways to use it in cooking.
Zucchini is also jam-packed with nutrients like potassium and antioxidants like vitamin C.
What You’ll Need for These
- Medium zucchinis: sliced into coins about 1/4 inches thick.
- Cup panko breadcrumbs: To coat the zucchini
- Eggs beaten: To help the breadcrumbs stick to the zucchini.
- Cooking oil spray: Helps the coins become golden brown and crispy.
How to Make Them
- Place breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat an egg.
- Dip slices of zucchini into the egg, carefully coating both sides,
- Place the egg-dipped zucchini coins into the panko and flip to coat. Shake off any excess breading.
- Arrange your breaded zucchini chips in a single layer in your air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees for 4 minutes
Serving Tips
You can’t go wrong with a simple side of ranch for dipping.
If you want something a bit different, you can also serve it with BBQ ranch sauce or a southwestern ranch if you like a little heat.
FAQs
The key to making super crispy zucchini chips is spraying them with cooking oil before air frying.
A little oil goes a long way, so I recommend a thorough, but quick spray.
