Scale
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 and pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Season: In a bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper until each slice is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for approximately 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to avoid overlap. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time, until they turn crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Carefully remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly to firm up before enjoying your crispy, healthy snack.
Notes
- Patting zucchini slices dry is crucial to getting crispy chips.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for best results.
- Flip the chips halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to taste, especially salt and paprika.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container but note they are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness.
