Zucchini Chips Ingredients
You will only need three simple ingredients to prepare these tasty chips from scratch.
Zucchini – Grab one large zucchini for this recipe to ensure you have more than enough to make plenty of chips.
Olive Oil – The olive oil goes over the zucchini and helps them get as crispy as possible while adding flavor to them.
Salt – You won’t need anything other than salt to enhance the flavor of these homemade chips.
Also Needed:
Mandoline Slicer – so you have uniform sizes.
Parchment Paper – to prevent sticking to the pan.
You can of course slice these with a knife but it’s so much easier if you’ve got a mandoline. If you don’t already have one, let this be your sign to pick one up. They make veggie slicing so much simpler and this one (my favorite!) slices in french fry shape, too.
How To Make Zucchini Chips
Using the mandoline slicer, cut up your zucchini into thin slices.
Drizzle olive oil onto the veggie to coat.
Spread out the zucchini chips onto baking sheets with parchment paper, add salt and bake.
Cook for about 2 hours until they’re brown and crispy.
If there is excess oil, use a paper towel to dab and absorb it.
Let them cool and enjoy!
How To Make Air Fryer Zucchini Chips
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.
Prepare as directed for baking.
Place zucchini slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer (in batches).
Cook for 8-10 minutes turning the slices over halfway through until golden brown.
Crispy Zucchini Chips Tips
Salt your Zucchini Chips in advance to draw the excess water out. You want to get rid of the extra water so these chips will come out crispier.
Ensure your oven is hot before you even put the chips in there. You should preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, allow the oven to reach that temperature, and then put them in the oven. They’ll cook quickly and get nice and crispy.
Slice your zucchini into thin pieces. If they’re too thick, they won’t be as crispy.
