Allie’s Tips & Tricks for Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Chips

Before we dive into how to make the tastiest garlic parmesan zucchini chips (or what I like to call zucchini parmesan crisps) I love to give my tips and tricks on what I personally do.

-First of all, to make any air fryer zucchini recipes, we are going to need an air fryer. You can use a basket type air fryer; however, I really like a rack type air fryer for this recipe.

- If you’re a garlic fan like myself, don’t be afraid to add a few extra garlic cloves to your mixture! This will make your garlic parmesan zucchini chips extra garlic-yyyy (YUM!)

- I love my zucchini parmesan crisps super salty! Every once in a while sprinkle a little extra salt! I won’t tell anyone if you don’t 😉

- Make sure you spray the air fryer with cooking spray. This is so your zucchini parmesan crisps won’t stick to the tray. We don’t want a pan full of broken chips! 

- If you want that perfect zucchini chip, try cutting the zucchini slices to about ⅛ an inch. When eating, you’ll think they’re actually potato chips! I like to use a mandolin to cut mine.

-If you don’t own an air fryer, don’t panic! These garlic parmesan zucchini chips are great in the air fryer but just as good in the oven. Simply follow the same instructions and be sure to put your zucchini parmesan crisps on a thoroughly greased baking tray, or parchment paper. Increase the temperature to about 350 degrees, and be sure to flip the zucchini as well.

What Do You Need To Make This Garlic Parmesan Zucchini

First of all, to make any air fryer zucchini recipes, we are going to need an air fryer. You can use a basket type air fryer; however, I really like a rack type air fryer for this recipe because it is easier to flip the zucchini over. However, it really depends on your personal preference and/or what you already have on hand.

Next, super easy, just a couple ingredients

• Zucchini
• Minced garlic
• Parmesan cheese

Oh garlic, boy do I love me some garlic. I use minced garlic that is already minced; however, you can use fresh garlic and mince it yourself. Either work here, it is really your personal preference.

Parmesan is the key for this recipe for parmesan zucchini, obviously. For this recipe, I use reduced fat parmesan cheese that comes in a container near the pizza sauce. However, you can use regular parmesan cheese or grate your own. It really depends on your personal preference and what you have on hand already.

Recipe for Parmesan Zucchini

This recipe is quite simple and will be done in under 20 minutes. Be sure to wash zucchini thoroughly then, slice and pat dry with a paper towel if moist. I use a mandolin to cut the zucchini but you need to be very careful. Cut the zucchini to about an ⅛ inch in thickness. While you are cutting the zucchini, preheat the air fryer to 325 degrees.

Next, place zucchini in a bowl and spray with cooking spray and toss to evenly coat. Add minced garlic, parmesan, garlic powder and salt, tossing to evenly coat.

Spray the pan in the air fryer as the zucchini will stick if not thoroughly greased. Air fry for 13-17 minutes, (at 325 degrees) until desired wellness. Be sure to flip and respray the zucchini every 4 minutes.

Other Ways To Cook
