Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 medium sized zucchini
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the zucchini: Using a mandoline, slice the zucchini into 1/8 inch thick rounds. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps them crisp better.
  2. Season the zucchini: In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat all slices with the seasoning.
  3. Arrange in air fryer: Place the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to ensure even cooking.
  4. Air fry the chips: Cook the zucchini at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 minutes. Then, carefully flip the slices and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning and cook until they reach a crisp texture.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the zucchini slices are as thin and dry as possible before air frying.
  • You can experiment with other seasonings such as garlic powder, chili powder, or parmesan cheese for variation.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping of the chips.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as zucchini chips may soften upon standing.
