Crispy and flavorful Smoked Paprika Zucchini Chips made by thinly slicing zucchini, seasoning with olive oil and smoked paprika, then baking or air frying until perfectly crisp.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly. Then, using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, slice the zucchinis into very thin, even rounds to ensure they crisp up evenly.
  2. Season the slices: Place the zucchini slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika and salt, and toss well to coat each slice evenly.
  3. Arrange for cooking: For baking, lay the slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap. For air frying, place them in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  4. Cook until crisp: Bake in a preheated oven at 225°F (110°C) for 1-1.5 hours, flipping halfway through, until the chips are dry and crisp. Alternatively, air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crisp.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the zucchini chips to cool completely on a wire rack to maintain their crispiness. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once cooled.

Notes

  • Slice the zucchini as thin as possible for optimal crispiness.
  • If baking, keep the oven door slightly ajar with a wooden spoon to allow moisture to escape for crispier chips.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste; you can add garlic powder or cayenne for extra flavor.
  • Store cooled chips in an airtight container to preserve crunchiness for up to 2 days.
  • Use fresh zucchinis without excess moisture to avoid sogginess.
