- Line a large cooking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan, and spices. Adjust seasonings to taste. Set aside.
- Slice the Zucchini into 0.5 cm thick slices.
- Dip each Zucchini slice first in flour to completely coat, then shake off the excess flour.
- Next, dip the floured slice in beaten egg, shaking off the excess.
- Finally, dip the slice in breadcrumb mix, making sure to coat the slice completely. Put coated Zucchini slice onto the prepared cooking sheet. Repeat until all the Zucchini slices are done.

Pro Tips:
- If your air fryer is smaller, you will have to cook in batches. Do not overcrowd the air fryer. I have made this in several air fryers, including the Ninja Foodi. The recipe will remain the same no matter if you use an Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model.
- For extra spice, add some red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mix.
- For best results, try to slice the zucchini in about the same thickness. This way, they all cook up at the same time. Do not crowd your basket. Otherwise, the crisps will not cook up correctly.
- Air fryer temperatures vary between brands so that cooking times may vary.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
- To reheat, preheat Air fryer to 375Ā°F and cook for 2-3 mins.
