Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 medium sized zucchini

Seasonings & Oil

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the zucchini: Using a mandolin, slice the zucchini into 1/8 inch thick rounds for even cooking and crispiness. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Season the zucchini: In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Arrange in the air fryer: Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap for proper air circulation and crisping.
  4. Air fry the chips: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 minutes, then flip the chips and air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes. Check frequently to prevent burning and achieve desired crispness.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, pat dry zucchini slices thoroughly before seasoning.
  • You can experiment with different seasonings such as garlic powder, cayenne, or Italian herbs.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, as the chips may soften if they sit for too long.
  • If making a larger batch, cook the zucchini chips in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
