Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, washed and sliced thinly (about 1/8 inch or 3 mm)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
- 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning (or more to taste)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili flakes for heat
Instructions
- Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Place the zucchini slices in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, add everything bagel seasoning and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat evenly. Add smoked paprika or chili flakes if desired.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through cooking (around 6 minutes) using tongs or a spatula.
- Check for doneness; chips should be golden brown and crunchy. Add 1-2 more minutes if needed, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Let the chips cool slightly on a wire rack or paper towel to maintain crispiness before serving.
Notes
Slice zucchini thinly and evenly for best crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation. Flip chips halfway through cooking for even browning. Let chips cool on a wire rack to maintain crunch. For a gluten-free extra crunch, dust slices lightly with almond flour before air frying. If using an oven, bake at 425°F (220°C) on a wire rack for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
