1. Prep the Zucchini
Pat zucchini very dry (key for crispiness!).
Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Coat with Parmesan Mix
In a bowl, mix Parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Dredge zucchini in the mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
3. Air Fry to Perfection
Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 mins, flipping halfway, until golden.
4. Garnish & Serve!
Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley.
Serve with marinara or lemon aioli for dipping.
Pro Tips for the Best Crispiness
🔹 Don’t overcrowd – Cook in batches if needed.
🔹 For extra crunch, spritz with olive oil spray before cooking.
🔹 No almond flour? Use panko breadcrumbs (not GF) or crushed pork rinds.
3 Delicious Variations
Spicy Kick – Add ¼ tsp cayenne or smoked paprika.
Lemon-Herb – Toss with zest of 1 lemon + fresh thyme.
Parmesan Ranch – Swap Italian seasoning for 1 tsp ranch seasoning.
Why This Recipe Works
The air fryer gives zucchini a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender, and the Parmesan creates a savory, crunchy crust. It’s healthier than fried zucchini chips but just as addictive!
Warning: You’ll want to eat the whole batch!
