Units
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C) or preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice zucchini into very thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Place zucchini slices on paper towels and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, toss zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and Parmesan if using.
- Arrange slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or air fryer basket without overlapping.
- Bake for 1.5–2 hours, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden. In air fryer, cook for 10–15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Let chips cool slightly to crisp up further before serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for even, thin slices.
- Dry zucchini thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Experiment with seasonings like paprika, Italian herbs, or chili powder.
