4.8 from 98 reviews

Crispy and healthy Air Fryer Zucchini Chips make a perfect guilt-free snack. Thinly sliced zucchini tossed in olive oil and seasoning, air fried to a golden crunch, offer a delightful alternative to traditional chips.

Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini Chips

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the zucchinis into thin, even rounds approximately 1/8 inch thick to ensure crispiness.
  2. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if using. Toss gently until all slices are coated evenly.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  4. Air Fry the Zucchini: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to allow proper air circulation. Cook for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the chips halfway through to achieve even crispness.
  5. Cool and Serve: Once crispy and golden, remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack to retain their crunch. Serve immediately as a healthy snack or side dish.

Notes

  • Slice zucchini uniformly thin for the crispiest texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Seasonings can be adjusted to taste or substituted with your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Consume soon after cooking, as zucchini chips can lose crispiness over time.
