Air Fryer Zucchini Chips

Air Fryer Zucchini feature slices of fresh zucchini coated in a parmesan and bread crumb coating and air fried to warm, golden, crispy perfection.

These breaded zucchini chips are easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and none of the mess from frying oil. The perfect fun way to cook fresh summer zucchini.

How to Keep Air Fryer Zucchini Chips from Getting Soggy

If your zucchini chips are soggy right away, it's likely that they were not cooked long enough or high enough.

If your zucchini chips are becoming soggy after sitting, that's normal. As with all fried foods, as they sit, they're steaming themself from within and slowly developing a softer exterior.

The best way to counteract this is to serve them right away!

If your air fryer zucchini chips have gotten soggy and you'd like to crisp them up, pop them back in the air fryer for another 1 to 3 minutes until they are crisp again.

Serving, Reheating and Freezing Air Fryer Zucchini Chips

How to Serve Air Fryer Zucchini Chips

Air fryer zucchini chips can be served as an appetizer, snack, or even a side dish.

Serve them with your favorite sauce such as marinara, ranch, or remoulade.

How to Reheat Leftovers

Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for about 3 minutes at 380°F, or until warm through and crisp.

Reheating them in the air fryer will allow to crisp back up. Alternately, you can reheat in the microwave, but they will be very soft.

How to Freeze

Prepare zucchini chips to recipe instructions. Air fry them for the first 8 minutes. Instead of flipping, transfer them to a parchment paper lined baking sheet in one even layer.

Freeze for 2 hours on the baking sheet. Then transfer to a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.

When ready to serve, place in the air fryer at 380°F for 8 minutes. If not crispy and warm all the way through, air fry for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
