Zucchini is 95 percent water, and that liquid will be released as the zucchini cooks.

When using an air fryer, double-check to cook items in a single layer.

Air fryers work by circulating hot airif your items are stacked, the air can’t properly circulate!

Leave space between each chip for this reason.

It may take longer to cook them in batches, but the results will be so worth it.

How To Store Zucchini Chips

These zucchini chips are best made and served hot.

To reheat leftovers, pop back in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp.

Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt.

Let stand 15 minutes, and blot dry.

Whisk together eggs and water in a separate shallow dish.

Stir together panko, Parmesan, pecorino, and oil in a third shallow dish.

Dip in egg mixture, allowing excess drip, and dredge in panko mixture, pressing to adhere.

Place slices on a rimmed baking sheet.

Cook zucchini chips:

Preheat a 6.3-quart air fryer to 390F for 10 minutes.

Coat air fryer basket with cooking spray.

If you don’t have Pecorino on hand, substitute by using a bit more Parmesan in the mix.

If it’s crucial that you skip the cheese completely, you might.

Your chips, your way!
