Ingredients
  

  • 1 large zucchini thinly sliced (about ⅛-inch thick)
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ –1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly.
  • Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, approximately ⅛-inch thick.
  • Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle generously with kosher salt.
  • Let the slices sit for 5–10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  • Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels.
  • Transfer the zucchini slices to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add olive oil and garlic powder.
  • Toss until all slices are evenly coated.
  • Arrange the zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket or trays.
  • Avoid overlapping for maximum crispiness.
  • Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes.
  • Check after 10 minutes and remove any chips that are already crisp and golden.
  • Continue cooking the remaining slices until crispy around the edges.
  • Transfer finished chips to a wire rack.
  • Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Smaller zucchini often produce less moisture.
  • Serve with ranch dip, garlic yogurt sauce, or marinara.
  • Best enjoyed immediately after cooking.
  • Great alternative to potato chips.
