- Serve immediately and enjoy your crunchy zucchini chips as a healthy snack!
Notes
You can customize the seasoning according to your taste. Try adding other spices like cayenne pepper for heat or Italian seasoning for a herby flavor.
Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can lead to uneven cooking.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; however, they are best enjoyed fresh.
