Ingredients
  

Zucchini Base
  • 2 medium zucchini thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil light coating
Seasonings
  • 1 2 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1 2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 1 4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 4 teaspoon black pepper optional

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife
  • Paper Towels
  • Tray
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Slice zucchini evenly and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels for crispier chips.
  2. Toss zucchini slices with olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, parmesan, and black pepper.
  3. Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overlapping.
  4. Cook until edges turn golden and the centers feel lightly crisp, flipping halfway through cooking.
  5. Cool briefly before serving so the zucchini chips finish crisping perfectly outside the air fryer.

Notes

Cook slightly longer for crispier chips or less for softer centers. Pat zucchini completely dry before seasoning because moisture prevents crunch. Freeze uncooked slices separately if preparing ahead. Handle chips carefully after cooking because thinner pieces break easily. Customize flavors with ranch seasoning, chili powder, or Italian herbs. Store loosely covered for two days.
