Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them into thin, even rounds approximately 1/8 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
  2. Toss with Seasonings: Place the sliced zucchini in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the slices and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss everything gently until all slices are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap to ensure even cooking.
  4. Air Fry the Chips: Cook the zucchini in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes. Flip the chips halfway through cooking to ensure both sides crisp up nicely. Watch carefully towards the end to prevent burning.
  5. Add Parmesan (Optional): Once crispy, remove the chips and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them while still hot, so it melts slightly and adds a savory flavor boost.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, pat zucchini slices dry with a paper towel before tossing with oil.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • You can customize seasonings by adding garlic powder, paprika, or Italian herbs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer to regain crispness.
