Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Sea salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Start by rinsing the zucchinis under cold water to remove any dirt. After washing, trim off both ends. Carefully slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, aiming for a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Thinner slices will yield crispier chips, so take your time with this step.

    In a spacious mixing bowl, add the zucchini rounds along with the extra virgin olive oil. Using your hands or a spatula, gently toss the zucchini to ensure each slice is thoroughly coated in the oil for optimal crispiness.

      Next, evenly distribute the everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt over the zucchini slices. Toss again gently to make sure all the zucchini chips are well-seasoned and coated with the spices.

        Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that desired crunchiness.

          Once preheated, arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there’s space between each slice to allow for even cooking. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.

            Air fry the zucchini chips for 8-10 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown and crispy. Remember to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even crisping on all sides.

              After the cooking time is up, carefully remove the crispy zucchini chips from the fryer and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. This will help maintain their crispiness as they cool.

                Serve the zucchini chips hot for the best taste and texture, or store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
