Ingredients:

  • 1 lb zucchini
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions:

  1. Slice the zucchini into uniform 1/8-inch rounds. Sprinkle with half of the salt and let them sit for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Use paper towels to firmly press and blot the slices, removing as much surface moisture as possible until the zucchini feels tacky.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the blotted zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
  4. Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss gently so the seasoning adheres without breaking the slices.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the slices in a single layer in the basket without overlapping.
  6. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the edges are mahogany-colored and the chips are rigid.
