Air Fryer Roasted Zucchini Chips
Here's a simple and delicious Roasted Zucchini Chips (Air Fryer Recipe) — crispy, flavorful, and low-carb!
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer I use Ninja brand and always line with a parchment paper bowl.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis thinly sliced (1/8-inch or less)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt adjust to taste
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika or smoked paprika optional
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese optional for extra flavor & crispiness
Instructions
Prep the zucchini:
- Wash and dry zucchini thoroughly.
- Slice into thin, even rounds — ideally with a mandoline for consistent crisping. About 1/8" rounds
Season:
- In a large bowl, toss zucchini slices with oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Parmesan (if using) until evenly coated.
Air fry:
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer in the basket (you may need to work in batches). I always use a parchment paper liner.
- Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway. Check for crispiness after 10 minutes—some may brown faster. Depending on how crispy you prefer, you may want to cook another 5-10 minutes. I like mine very crispy!
- Cool & serve:
- Transfer chips to a cooling rack (they’ll crisp more as they cool).
- Enjoy immediately or store in a paper towel-lined container for a few hours.
Notes
For maximum crunch, pat zucchini slices dry with paper towels before seasoning.
Don't overcrowd the basket—air circulation is key.
Add a dash of cayenne or Italian herbs for variation.
