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 even rounds and pat them dry with 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 they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the right temperature for cooking the chips evenly.
- Air Fry: Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook them for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through for even crisping, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving to enjoy their best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, slice zucchinis as thin and uniform as possible to ensure even cooking.
- Patting the zucchini slices dry is crucial to avoid soggy chips.
- You can adjust seasoning to your taste or add other spices like cayenne for a kick.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation for crispiness.
- These chips are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to one day.
