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 the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Season: In a bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper, making sure each slice is evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Carefully remove the zucchini chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving to enhance their crisp texture.
Notes
- Make sure to slice the zucchinis as thinly and evenly as possible for consistent crispiness.
- Patting the slices dry is crucial to avoid sogginess.
- If you don’t have paprika, you can substitute with smoked paprika or chili powder for a little extra flavor.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model—keep an eye on the chips to prevent burning.
- Enjoy zucchini chips immediately for the best crisp texture as they may soften over time.
