Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Start by washing the zucchinis and slicing them into ¼-inch thick rounds. Pat the slices dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps in achieving extra crispiness.

    Make the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

      Coat the Zucchini: In a separate bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until they are evenly coated. Then, take each slice and dip it into the Parmesan mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Shake off any excess coating.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Air Fry the Zucchini Chips: Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd it. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.

            Cooking Time: Air fry the zucchini chips for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

              Serve: Once done, remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve your crispy garlic Parmesan zucchini chips warm as a tasty snack or a side dish. They pair wonderfully with your favorite dipping sauce!
