🥒 Crispy Zucchini Chips – 3 Ways (Oven, Air Fryer, Dehydrator)

A healthy, crunchy snack you can make at home with just a few ingredients. Whether you want them baked, air-fried, or slowly dried to perfection, we’ve got you covered!

🧂 Ingredients (for all methods):

  • 1–2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Optional: garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, chili flakes, or grated parmesan

🔥 1. Oven Method

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C).
  2. Slice zucchini very thinly (1/8 inch or less) using a mandoline.
  3. Pat slices dry with paper towels.
  4. Toss in olive oil and seasonings.
  5. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
  7. Let cool—they’ll crisp up more as they cool.

⚡ 2. Air Fryer Method

Instructions:

  1. Slice zucchini thin and pat dry.
  2. Coat lightly with oil and seasoning.
  3. Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  4. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. Watch closely toward the end to avoid burning.
  6. Cool slightly before serving.

🌬️ 3. Dehydrator Method

Instructions:

  1. Slice zucchini paper-thin.
  2. Season lightly and place in a single layer on dehydrator trays.
  3. Dehydrate at 135°F (57°C) for 8–12 hours until completely dry and crisp.
  4. Cool and store in an airtight container for long-lasting crunch.

✅ Tips for All Methods:

  • Thin, even slices = better crispiness.
  • Patting dry removes moisture and helps them crisp up.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container with a paper towel to keep them crunchy.
