Air fryer courgette chips

Courgette slices

Crunchy parmesan-crusted rounds that do not go limp on the plate.

Courgette is basically water in a green jacket. Salting the slices first and blotting them is the difference between crisp chips and wet discs.

  • 2 courgettes, sliced 1cm thick
  • 60g panko breadcrumbs
  • 30g grated parmesan

  1. Salt. Salt the slices and leave 10 minutes, then blot dry hard with paper towel.
  2. Coat. Dip in egg, then press into the panko and parmesan mix.

Test-kitchen tip

Salt and blot first. Skip it and the water inside turns the crumb to paste as they cook.
