Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste (preferably coarse sea salt)

Optional Seasonings

  • Garlic powder (to taste)
  • Onion powder (to taste)
  • Paprika or cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • Dried herbs such as oregano or Italian seasoning (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Wash and Slice: Thoroughly wash the zucchinis under cool running water and pat dry with a clean towel. Using a sharp knife, slice the zucchinis into thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  2. Toss with Olive Oil: Place the zucchini slices in a mixing bowl and drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over them. Toss gently until all slices are evenly coated, which helps achieve a crispy texture.
  3. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle salt and your choice of optional seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or dried herbs over the slices. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning on all slices.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This step ensures the chips cook evenly and become crispy.
  5. Arrange the Chips: Place the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to prevent uneven cooking; if necessary, cook in batches.
  6. Cook: Air fry the zucchini chips for 10-12 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crisping. Start checking towards the end to avoid burning.
  7. Check for Crispness: Once the chips are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. If you desire extra crunch, air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes while watching carefully.
  8. Cool Down: Transfer the chips onto a wire rack or paper towels to cool for a few minutes. Cooling helps the chips retain their crispiness.
  9. Serve: Enjoy the zucchini chips as they are or pair with your favorite dips such as hummus or yogurt-based dips for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For uniform crispiness, slice zucchinis as evenly thin as possible.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities based on personal preference and dietary needs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to preserve crispness but chips are best eaten fresh.
  • You can experiment with other seasonings like chili flakes or parmesan cheese for variety.
