Zucchini Chips Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Zucchini: Thinly slice the zucchinis into rounds and then pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them crisp better.
- Season: In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper ensuring all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure the cooking environment is hot and ready to crisp the zucchini chips.
- Air Fry: Place the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap for even cooking. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Patting the zucchini slices dry is crucial to achieving crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the slices and your air fryer model.
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly sprinkle some grated Parmesan before air frying.
- Serve immediately for the best crunch but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to one day.
