Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis
- Olive oil spray
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini:
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. - Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). - Season the Zucchini:
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the slices with olive oil. Sprinkle them with garlic powder and paprika for flavor. You can also add a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. - Cook the Zucchini Chips:
Cook the zucchini chips in the air fryer for about 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crisping. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once the zucchini chips are crispy and golden, remove them from the air fryer. Serve with a yogurt-based dip made of Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, and a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Make sure the zucchini slices are as even as possible for consistent cooking.
- To enhance flavor, try adding a dash of Parmesan cheese before air frying.
