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 using paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Season: In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper until all slices are evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry: Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure both sides become crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Carefully remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving to enjoy a crunchy and delicious snack.
Notes
- Make sure to slice zucchini thinly and dry thoroughly for the crispiest chips.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed to maintain airflow and crispiness.
- Adjust seasoning to taste or add other spices like cayenne or Italian herbs for different flavor profiles.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as chips may soften if stored.
