Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
Cut the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds. You should get about 20-24 slices per zucchini.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is coated on both sides.
Then, coat the zucchini slice with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to help the mixture adhere to the zucchini.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the coated zucchini slices in the basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Spray the tops of the zucchini slices lightly with olive oil spray.
Cook the zucchini in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked zucchini slices from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain their crispness.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack. Enjoy the crispy and flavorful bites!
