Ingredients
Method
- Slice the zucchini thinly. Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin slices (about ⅛ inch). The thinner they are, the crispier they’ll get.
- Remove excess moisture. Lay the slices on paper towels, sprinkle with a little salt, and let them sit for 10–15 minutes. Pat dry to remove water.
- Season. Toss slices in olive oil and your favorite seasonings.
Bake or air fry
- Oven: Preheat to 225°F (110°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange slices in a single layer. Bake for 1–2 hours, flipping halfway, until crisp.
- Air fryer: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Air fry in batches for 8–12 minutes, shaking halfway.
- Cool. Let chips cool completely before eating—they’ll crisp up even more as they rest.
