The first step is rinsing your zucchini and then slice thin. You want to cut your zucchini around 1/4 inch thick.

Then you will lay out your zucchini on paper towels. Sprinkle with some salt, and allow the zucchini to sit for around 15 minutes. This will pull out the excess liquid in the zucchini.

Once the time has passed, pat dry the zucchini.

Egg Wash

Then in a bowl whip up your egg with a little water. This is going to be the egg wash.

Spices

In another small bowl, add your salt, pepper, dill, and parsley. Mix well. Dip your slices in the egg wash. Then sprinkle the seasoning on top. Air fry as directed by the recipe card. Once crispy, remove and serve up the chips.

What are the health benefits of zucchini?

Zucchini is a wonderful vegetable to add to your diet. This green veggie is loaded with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and more.

Zucchini is also great for heart health, can aid in weight loss and even improve vision.

How to pick zucchini?

When you pick zucchini, the goal is to look for zucchini around 6-9 inches long. You will find that the bigger the zucchini, the difference in the flavor.

You want the zucchini to feel heavy for its size. Aim for a blemish-free that is also dark green. If you find wrinkles on the skin or soft spots, you will find the meat inside will not be quality.

How do you cut zucchini off the plant?

If you are growing your own zucchini, the easiest way to grab your zucchini squash and twist this will break the squash off the plant.

Or if you find it won’t twist, grab some gardening shears and cut it 1-2 inches away from the vegetable.

Should I pick the flowers off my zucchini?

Zucchini flowers are something many don’t think about. But, you can pick the yellow flowers and fry them up in a batter to eat.

You will also find removing the flowers of some of the male plants will reduce vegetable production. So if you don’t want to harvest as much produce, remove some of your flowers.

If you want a higher turnout of produce, leave the flowers on the plants.

Should Zucchini be refrigerated?

Zucchini should be stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. You will find that storing the zucchini in the fridge helps preserve the texture and the flavor of the squash.

Other squash varieties can be stored on the counter, but zucchini is not one I recommend.

Tips for Making Zucchini Chips

  • Use a slicer to create evenly sliced pieces of zucchini. This will help in allowing all the chips to cook in about the same amount of time.
  • Don’t skip removing excess liquid from the zucchini, or your chips will not crisp up.
  • Season your zucchini with any spices that you would like to alter the flavor.
  • Make sure to check on the chips, as all air fryers are cooked at different times. So use it as a guide, and when the chips are crispy, then remove them.
  • Place all your zucchini in a single layer. If you overlap, you will get soft spots where the veggie overlaps each other.
