Ingredients
  

3 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced (about ¼ inch thick)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Start by washing the zucchinis and trimming the ends. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the zucchinis into thin, even slices to ensure they cook evenly.

    Toss with Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchinis with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the zucchini slices are well coated with the oil and seasonings.

      Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned zucchini slices. Gently toss again until the cheese is evenly distributed across all the slices.

        Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

          Arrange the Chips: Place the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which will ensure they become crispier.

            Air Fry: Cook the zucchini slices in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning as cook times can vary based on air fryer models.

              Cool & Garnish: Once the zucchini chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Let them cool slightly before serving. Optional: garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer Zucchini Chips warm as a snack or side dish. Enjoy the crunch and rich flavor!
