Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (162°C) to ensure an even cooking temperature for crispy chips.
  2. Slice the Zucchini: Use a mandoline slicer to cut the zucchini into thin, uniform 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) slices for consistent crispiness.
  3. Salt and Dry the Slices: Toss the zucchini slices with sea salt in a medium bowl and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. Then, press them gently between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture from the surface.
  4. Season with Oil and Pepper: Return the dried zucchini slices to the bowl and toss with olive oil and black pepper until lightly coated. Separate any slices that may stick together to ensure even cooking.
  5. Air Fry the Zucchini Chips: Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Start checking at 8 minutes and remove any chips that are already crispy to prevent burning. Continue cooking remaining slices, checking every few minutes.
  6. Cool to Crisp: Allow the zucchini chips to cool outside the air fryer to let them firm up and achieve maximum crispiness before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin slices which results in uniform cooking.
  • Drying the zucchini slices thoroughly is key to achieving crispiness.
  • Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
  • Check chips frequently near the end of cooking to avoid burning.
  • Cool chips on a wire rack or paper towels to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
