Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini: Use a mandoline to slice the zucchini into 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) thick slices to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Remove moisture: Pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture which helps achieve a crispy texture.
- Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 325°F (162°C) and let it preheat to prepare for cooking the chips evenly.
- Season the slices: In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Make sure the slices are coated evenly and separate any that are stuck together.
- Air fry in batches: Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check at 8 minutes and remove any slices that are already browned and crispy. Continue cooking remaining slices in short intervals until all are done.
- Cool before serving: Allow the zucchini chips to cool after air frying for additional crisping before serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thin slices that cook evenly.
- Patting the zucchini dry is essential to get crispy chips instead of soggy ones.
- Cooking times may vary based on your air fryer model and thickness of slices; monitor closely from 8 minutes onward.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
