Print Recipe

A quick and healthy snack recipe for crispy zucchini chips made in an air fryer in just 5 minutes, using simple ingredients and minimal oil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced thinly (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 2 medium zucchinis. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice them into thin rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
  2. Lay the zucchini slices on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
  3. Place the slices in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and optional 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan and ¼ teaspoon paprika. Toss gently until all slices are evenly coated.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up for about 3 minutes.
  5. Place zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping so air can circulate freely for even crisping. Cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 4 minutes, then carefully flip each slice with tongs or a spatula. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Transfer the chips to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly. Serve immediately.

Notes

Dry zucchini slices thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Flip chips halfway through cooking for even crisping. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. For extra crispiness, season with salt or Parmesan after cooking. Leftovers can be re-crisped in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
