WILL ZUCCHINI SLICES GET CRUNCHY?
I was worried that the water content of zucchini may not translate very well into a chip. Luckily…the air fryer really solves that problem!
Zucchini slices will get crunchy in the air fryer and it doesn't take a ton of time. It gives you a whole new option for eating those veggies!
I will warn you though…the zucchini slices reduce a LOT in size…so you will want to double, triple, or even quadruple this recipe!!
INGREDIENTS FOR AIR FRYER ZUCCHINI CHIPS
I love recipes with minimal ingredients and this one fits the bill with only 3 ingredients! Don't forget that these slices will shrink down and one zucchini will only feed 1 or 2 people!
This is simple to double or triple.
- One large zucchini (1 1/4 cup sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (my absolute favorite is Slap Ya Mamma
)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray (non-aerosol like this one
)
HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CAJUN ZUCCHINI CHIPS
There are only a few steps and you barely even need a recipe to make these delicious air fryer zucchini chips.
STEP ONE: SLICE ZUCCHINI
First, you need to slice the zucchini up. Leave the peel ON. 🙂
It is important to get the zucchini sliced just right…not too thick and not too thin. The best size is to slice them into 1/8 inch slices. It may be easiest to use a mandoline slicer for this.
STEP TWO: SEASON CHIPS
Now you need to coat the zucchini slices with olive oil spray. Place the slices in a bowl and lightly spray them with olive oil and make sure both sides are coated. This allows the Cajun seasoning to stick.
Now add the Cajun seasoning to the bowl and stir until the slices are well coated in seasoning.
STEP THREE: AIR FRY
Spray the basket of the Air Fryer with olive oil spray and then put the slices in a single layer in the basket.
Air fry at 370 F for 8 minutes and then flip them over and cook for another 7-8 minutes. You can lightly spritz the slices with more olive oil spray when you turn them over if desired. It can help make them crunchier.

Unfortunately, they don’t keep very well. They tend to lose their crispness after a little while.
