Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large Zucchini or 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
- ½ teaspoon Salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- Optional seasonings: Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or nutritional yeast for added flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly.
- Using a mandoline slicer or knife, slice the zucchini into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Place the slices on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to draw out the moisture, then pat them dry.
Cooking
- In a large bowl, toss the dried zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, and any additional seasonings you prefer.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the zucchini chips and let them cool for a few minutes.
Notes
For the best results, ensure uniform thickness while slicing and avoid overcrowding the air fryer for maximum crispness. Experiment with different spices to personalize the flavor.
