Garlic-Parmesan Air-Fryer Flatbread Chips Recipe
Introduction
These Garlic-Parmesan Air-Fryer Flatbread Chips are a quick and tasty snack. Crispy, cheesy, and infused with herbs, they’re perfect for dipping or munching on their own. Using an air fryer makes them easy and healthier than traditional frying.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, thyme)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Add the olive oil and water, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water one teaspoon at a time until pliable.
- Step 2: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead in the Parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs gently for 1-2 minutes, just until evenly combined.
- Step 3: Roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thick, shaping it into a rectangle or circle. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into chip-sized squares or triangles.
- Step 4: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the chips in a single layer in the basket without overlapping. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Cook in batches if needed.
- Step 5: Remove the chips from the air fryer and cool on a wire rack or paper towels. They will crisp up as they cool. Serve with your favorite dip or enjoy as a snack.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little sea salt or smoked paprika on the chips before air frying.
- Try swapping Parmesan for Pecorino Romano for a sharper cheese taste.
- Add a pinch of chili flakes to the dough for a subtle spicy kick.
- Store any leftover chips uncovered for maximum crispness or in an airtight container if you prefer softer chips.
Storage
Store the flatbread chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they lose crispness, reheat them in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes to restore crunch.

Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
Flavoring
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, thyme)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to create the base mixture. Add the olive oil and water, stirring until a slightly sticky but cohesive dough forms. Adjust consistency by adding water teaspoon by teaspoon if needed.
- Incorporate the Parmesan and Herbs: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently knead in the grated Parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs for 1-2 minutes, ensuring even distribution without overworking the dough.
- Roll Out the Dough: Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin, even rectangle or circle about 1/8 inch thick. Lightly dust with flour if sticking occurs. Cut the dough into chip-sized pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, shaping as squares or triangles.
- Air Fry the Chips: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange the chip pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Work in batches if necessary.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the chips and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to cool and crisp up further. Serve immediately with your favorite dip or enjoy as a crunchy snack.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Rolling the dough thinner will yield crispier chips; adjust thickness to your preference.
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness for up to 2 days.
- Try different herb blends or add spices like smoked paprika for variation.
- If dough is too sticky, add a little more flour to make it easier to handle.
