Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1 large yellow squash
  • 2 Tbsp besan chickpea flour
  • ¼ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp salt or to taste
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro finely chopped (optional)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Slice the zucchini and squash to form 1/4” thick circles. You can cut them thinner for a crunchier “chip” or thicker for more of a side-dish squash.
  • Salt the squash and zucchini, and let them sit in the salt for at least 5 minutes, so they start to release their water.
  • Mix spices, besan, panko, and cilantro in a bowl.
  • Add the zucchini and squash to the mixing bowl. Toss to coat with the mixture.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Cook for 7-9 minutes, flipping about halfway through.

Notes

If left to sit, or refrigerated, you can re-crisp the squash by adding it back to the air fryer at 400°F for 1-2 minutes.
