    These air fryer zucchini chips take less than 15 minutes to make! Coat them in olive oil, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese for the best veggie side. We even have a dairy free option for you!

    Using the air fryer to make side dishes is our new favorite thing! We love air fryer baked potatoes and air fryer asparagus too. It cooks veggies so quickly and it's a healthy way complete your dinner.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Zucchini: this is the star of the show and even better during the summer months when you can grow them in your back yard or buy them at the farmer's market.
    • Sea salt: I think kosher or sea salt really makes a difference!
    • Fresh cracked black pepper: shaker pepper will work too but the large chunks of cracked black pepper add more flavor and makes them look so pretty.
    • Parmesan cheese: you can usee shredded parmesan or more finely grated/powdered.

    How to Make Them Dairy Free

    If you want to opt out of adding cheese to these zucchini chips, just swap the parmesan cheese for nutritional yeast! It's a non-activated yeast that has the best parmesan flavor.

    You may notice this recipe is made on a sheet pan! That's because our oven is also an air fryer! We have the matte white Cafe double oven and LOVE it. It works like a phone and recently had a software update to add an air fryer! So crazy! Cook times will be the same regardless.

    How to Make Zucchini Chips in the Air Fryer

    1. Start by slicing the zucchini chips really small. You can use a mandolin to slice them thinly or you can do it by hand with a knife. They don't have to be perfect! Just try to get them all as close to the same thickness as possible for even cooking.
    2. Lay them evenly in the air fryer basket or on a sheet pan like us. Spray them with olive oil or coconut oil spray then sprinkle with sea salt, parmesan cheese and fresh cracked black pepper.
    3. Air fry at 370°F for 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starts to brown.
    4. Serve right away plain or with ranch dressing.
