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 pieces and pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness during cooking.
- Season: In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper ensuring each slice is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for approximately 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature before cooking.
- Air Fry: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overlapping. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping and a golden brown color.
- Serve: Once done, carefully remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly for a couple of minutes to enhance their crisp texture before serving.
Notes
- Patting the zucchini dry is essential for crisp chips.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the slices and your air fryer’s efficiency.
- Optional spices like smoked paprika or chili powder can add variety.
- Best served fresh for maximum crunch.
