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 thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring they crisp up well in the air fryer.
- Season: In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper until each slice is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure optimal cooking temperature.
- Air Fry: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow even airflow. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until the chips are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Carefully remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving to enhance their crispiness and flavor.
Notes
- Patting the zucchinis dry is crucial to achieve crispy chips.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; paprika adds a smoky flavor but can be omitted.
- Serve immediately for the best texture as chips may lose crispness over time.
- Leftover chips can be stored in an airtight container but are best enjoyed fresh.
