Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cool and serve: Remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer, allow them to cool for a few minutes to enhance crispiness, and enjoy immediately as a healthy snack.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder, paprika, or grated parmesan before air frying.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to maintain crispiness.
- 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.
