These zucchini chips make great party food, served with a flavour-packed aioli. In this recipe, the zucchini fries are coated in polenta, parmesan and garlic salt before cooking, resulting in a crunchy exterior.
Ingredients
Method
Lightly beat egg in a large bowl. Combine polenta, parmesan and garlic salt in another large bowl, then season with pepper. Add zucchini batons to egg and toss to coat, then dust in polenta mixture, shaking off excess; spray all over with oil.
Preheat a 7-litre air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes.
Spray the air fryer basket generously with oil. Taking care, place half the zucchini chips in the basket; at 200°C, cook for 12 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, until golden and tender. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat cooking with remaining zucchini chips.
Meanwhile, to make aïoli, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the chives in a small bowl; season.
Sprinkle zucchini chips with salt flakes and remaining chives. Serve with aïoli.
What to serve with zucchini chips
We recommend serving the chips with a garlicky aioli. If you don’t want to make your own aioli, as included in the recipe above, you can use a store-bought aioli instead.
