Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Skillet
- Grater
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Set out a mandolin slicer, a medium bowl, and an air fryer. Adjust the mandolin slicer to slice at 1.5 mm. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, being extra careful when you get close to the end. Place the zucchini chips in the bowl and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Toss well and allow the zucchini chips to sweat out their moisture for at least 10 minutes.
- Place a long piece of paper towel on the countertop. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Once the zucchini chips have had time to sweat, pour off the excess moisture and lay the zucchini chips in a flat layer on the paper towels. Press them gently to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Move the zucchini chips back to the bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper. Toss well to coat the zucchini chips in the seasoning.
- Carefully lay a single layer of zucchini chips in the hot air fryer basket. Air fry the zucchini chips for 5 minutes. Use tongs to flip the zucchini chips over.
- Sprinkle the tops of the zucchini chips with Parmesan cheese. Then air fry for another 5 to 6 minutes depending on your machine. Repeat in small batches with the remaining zucchini chips.
Notes
- Testing Variations: We tested this recipe in multiple air fryers; some may not cook evenly. Flipping and coating the chips helps with consistency.
- Low-Carb Delight: While these chips are a fantastic low-carb option, they should be enjoyed fresh as they don’t store well.
