Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Trim the ends off the zucchinis and slice them into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.
Place the zucchini slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the zucchini slices. Add parmesan cheese if using. Toss again to ensure all slices are well seasoned.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches to prevent overlapping.
Air fry the zucchini slices for about 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Check for crispness. If necessary, continue cooking in 2-minute increments until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chips from the air fryer, allow them to cool slightly, and serve immediately for the best texture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container, but note that they may lose some crispness over time.
