Air frying is all the rage and I’m a big fan too! It’s so fun to make all sorts of meals, snacks and sides this way as all the more naughty dishes feel a tad less naughty, hahah! I love fried pickles and all sorts of yummy battered and fried veggies so I hope you enjoy my vegan air fried veggie chips recipe!
- Veggies of choice cut into 4 inch rounds (zucchini, carrots, pickles, sweet potatoes…)
- 1/2 cup gluten free flour of choice
- aquafaba from 1 can of chickpeas (water strained from a can of chickpeas)
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- olive oil spray
- salt to taste
Add the flour to a medium mixing bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder and pepper to another bowl and stir to combine.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
Bread the veggie slices by dipping them in flour, then aquafaba then the panko mixture. Being sure to press the breadcrumbs into the veggies until it sticks. Place the finished slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you will need to work in batches).
Once the basket is full, spray the top of the breaded slices with olive oil and cook it in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
When finished, remove the slices from the air fryer and transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and serve with dip of choice (i love vegan ranch or bbq sauce with these guys, yum!)
