INGREDIENT NOTES:
ZUCCHINI:
- Zucchini is the main ingredient used to make this snack. It has a mild taste that becomes tender when we cook it. This stands out from the vegan Parmesan as well. Include yellow summer squash if you are not using zucchini.
VEGAN PARMESAN-STYLE CHEESE:
- It gives a salty and cheesy taste to the zucchini slices. This cheese makes the crispy coating and spreads evenly on the zucchini. You may use nutritional yeast as an alternative.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, wash the zucchini properly and dry it well.
- Slice the zucchini into equal rounds about 1/4 inch thick for better results.
- Warm the air fryer to 370°F for three minutes.
- Arrange a single layer of the zucchini slices in the air fryer basket and do not crowd it.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of vegan Parmesan-style cheese on the zucchini slices.
- Air fry the slices for 12 minutes at 370°F to make them golden and crispy.
- Take the crisps from the oven and cool them for 2-3 minutes to make the coating firm.
- Lastly, serve the crisps warm and chunky for better results.
