Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Chips Recipe

Introduction

Air fryer zucchini chips are a simple, healthy snack that’s perfect when you want something crispy without the guilt. These chips are quick to make and require just a few basic ingredients.

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Wash and dry the zucchinis. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the zucchinis into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until they are evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt.
3. Step 3: Arrange the slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
4. Step 4: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chips are crisp and lightly browned.
5. Step 5: Remove the chips and let them cool slightly—they will crisp up more as they cool. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sprinkle the zucchini slices with garlic powder, paprika, or grated Parmesan before air frying.
• Keep the zucchini slices thin and uniform to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Storage

Store leftover zucchini chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh, as they can lose crispness over time. Reheat briefly in the air fryer or oven to restore some crunch.

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Slice the zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly, then slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness.
2. Toss with olive oil and salt: Place the zucchini slices in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle the salt evenly. Toss well to coat each slice lightly but thoroughly.
3. Air fry the slices: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips turn golden brown and crispy.

Notes

• Thickness of slices affects cooking time; thinner slices become crispier but cook faster.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container but consume within 1-2 days to retain crisp texture.
