Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Start by washing the zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the ends off and slice each zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well blended.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing slightly so the coating adheres well. Repeat with all the zucchini slices.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the zucchini slices at 400°F (200°C) for 7-8 minutes, flip them over, and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
Serve immediately as a keto-friendly snack or as a side dish with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
