Air fryer zucchini chips
An vegetable snack with zucchini (courgette) made in the air fryer for when you have a craving for something light and healthy.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium-large zucchini
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- pinch of salt and pepper
Optional spices
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of dried herbs like basil, parsley, or thyme
- 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Wash and cut the zucchini into thin slices, using a mandoline slicer if possible.
- Place the sliced zucchinis onto a paper towel and pat it to absorb as much of the water as possible.
- Put the zucchinis into a large bowl along with the vegetable oil and the spices.
- Toss around so the oil and the spices lightly covers the sliced zucchinis.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (190°C).
- Place in the air fryer basket, leaving space between the slices so that they don't stick to each other. You may have to cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook for 12 minutes, tossing the basket every so often so that it cooks evenly.
- Remove from basket and serve.
Notes
Note, the zucchini chips should be served soon after cooking, as they continue to retain water and will soften when cool. You can always add them back to the air fryer to have them warm up and become crisp again.
