Ingredients
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds or half-moons
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1 teaspoon paprika (ground)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 2-3 minutes
In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper
In another bowl or tray, toss zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated
Dip each slice into the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere
Arrange zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not overcrowd)
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp
Notes
For halal compliance, ensure Parmesan is dairy-based (no alcohol content)
Use parchment paper or a nonstick air fryer basket to prevent sticking
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 12 hours (re-crisp in the air fryer if needed)
Adjust seasoning levels to taste (e.g., add garlic powder or herbs like thyme)
