Ingredients:
- 2 zucchinis: Medium-sized, about 1 pound total weight.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil: Or your preferred cooking oil.
- Salt: To taste, for seasoning.
- Pepper: To taste, for seasoning.
Equipment:
- Homtone pizza oven with air fry function
- Air fry basket
- Cutting board
- Mandoline slicer or sharp knife
- Mixing bowl
- Tongs or oven mitts for handling hot baskets
- Plate or wire rack for cooling
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini
Wash the Zucchini: Rinse the zucchinis under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Slice the Zucchini: Using a mandoline slicer, cut the zucchinis into thin, uniform slices (about 1/16-inch thick). If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife, but ensure the slices are as even as possible for consistent cooking.
Step 2: Season the Zucchini
In a Mixing Bowl: Place the sliced zucchini in a large mixing bowl.
Add Olive Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini slices and toss to coat evenly.
Season with Salt and Pepper: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the zucchini, to your taste, and toss again to ensure the slices are well-seasoned.
Step 3: Prepare the Air Fry Basket
Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the air fry basket with cooking oil to prevent the zucchini chips from sticking.
Arrange the Zucchini: Carefully place the zucchini slices in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Overlapping can cause uneven cooking and prevent the chips from crisping up properly.
Step 4: Air Fry the Zucchini Chips
Set the Temperature: Set your pizza oven to the AIR FRY function at 350°F.
Cook the Zucchini Chips: Place the basket in the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your zucchini slices and the efficiency of your oven.
Check for Crispness: After 5 minutes, carefully remove the basket and check the zucchini chips for crispness. If they are not yet crisp, return them to the oven and continue cooking, checking every minute until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Transfer to a Wire Rack: Once the zucchini chips are crisp, remove them from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to help absorb any excess oil and cool them down.
Season Again: While still warm, sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve: Allow the zucchini chips to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed fresh and crispy.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Zucchini Chips:
Slice Uniformity: The more uniform your zucchini slices, the more evenly they will cook.
Single Layer: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer to ensure they crisp up evenly without steaming each other.
Check Often: Zucchini chips can go from perfect to overdone quickly, so check them frequently as they cook.
Cooling: Letting the chips cool on a wire rack helps them maintain their crispness.
Enjoy your homemade air fryer zucchini chips, a delicious and healthier alternative to fried snacks. Perfect for a guilt-free snack, appetizer, or side dish.
