Ingredients
Scale
Zucchini Chips
- 3 medium sized zucchini
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice the Zucchini: Using a mandolin, slice the zucchini into 1/8 inch thick rounds. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Season the Zucchini: In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat each slice.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
- Air Fry the Chips: Cook the zucchini at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip the chips and air fry for another 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning and achieve desired crispness.
Notes
- Patting the zucchini dry before seasoning helps remove extra moisture to ensure crispier chips.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model and thickness of slices—monitor closely.
- You can add other seasonings such as garlic powder or Italian herbs for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately for best crunch, as chips may soften upon standing.
