Scale
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 thoroughly using paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps in achieving crispiness.
- Season: In a bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper. Toss well until all slices 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 is hot and ready for cooking.
- Air Fry: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Carefully remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve immediately as a delicious, crunchy snack or side dish.
Notes
- Make sure to slice zucchinis evenly for uniform cooking.
- Patting zucchini dry is essential to crispiness; moisture can cause sogginess.
- You can adjust seasoning to taste or add other spices like chili powder for heat.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and crisping.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh as they can lose crispness over time.
