How To Make Easy Air Fryer Keto Zucchini Chips

Step 1: Start by making very thin slices of the zucchini. You can use a Mandoline if necessary. 

Step 2: In one bowl, beat the eggs with a fork until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour and grated Parmesan. Dip each zucchini piece into the egg mixture, allowing any extra to drip off before coating.

Step 3: Toss the zucchini slices in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture until fully coated.

Step 4: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the zucchini chips in a single layer. Set air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F, using air fryer setting and set cook time for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

Step 5: Continue air frying the remaining zucchini chips in batches until every piece is perfectly crispy and golden.

Easy Air Fryer Keto Zucchini Chips Recipe Tips

• Slice Evenly: Make sure all zucchini pieces are the same thickness so they cook uniformly.
• Pat Dry: Removing excess moisture with a paper towel helps the coating stick and prevents sogginess.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Give each chip some space in the air fryer basket for even crisping.
• Halfway Flip: Turn the chips halfway through cooking to ensure golden, crunchy edges on all sides.
• Adjust Time for Thickness: Thicker slices may need an extra minute or two; thinner slices cook faster, so keep an eye on them.
• Use Cooking Spray: A light coat helps the coating brown beautifully without sticking.
• Serve Immediately: These chips are crispiest fresh from the air fryer—reheating may soften them.

Storing, Freezing and Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Place cooled zucchini chips in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep them separated with parchment paper to maintain crispiness.
• Freezing: Arrange the chips in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Avoid stacking too many at once to prevent them from sticking together.
• Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it will make the chips soft and soggy.

Easy Air Fryer Keto Zucchini Chips Recipe Faqs

Can I make these zucchini chips gluten-free? Absolutely! Simply use almond flour or crushed pork rinds instead of traditional breadcrumbs for a gluten-free, keto-friendly coating.

How do I make them extra crispy? Make sure to slice the zucchini thinly, pat them dry to remove excess moisture, and avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cooking a few extra minutes can also help.

Can I bake these in the oven instead of the air fryer? Yes! Preheat your oven to 425°F and bake the coated zucchini chips on a parchment-lined sheet for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Can I prepare them ahead of time? You can prep the zucchini slices and coating in advance, but it’s best to air fry them right before serving to keep them crispy.

Can I add other seasonings? Definitely! Try garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian herbs, or chili powder for different flavor variations.
