Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- Optional: 2 tbsp fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Slice Zucchini: Using a mandoline slicer, cut the zucchini into 1/8 inch thick slices to ensure even cooking.
- Dry Slices: Pat the zucchini slices dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them become crispy.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 325°F (162°C) and allow it to preheat, preparing for even cooking.
- Season Zucchini: In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until each slice is evenly coated.
- Air Fry: Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Let the chips cool slightly to enhance their crunchiness, optionally garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for uniformly thin slices which guarantees even cooking and crispiness.
- Patting the slices dry is crucial to avoid soggy chips.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model and desired crispness.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crunch.
