Want to speed up the process? Here’s how to make zucchini chips in the air fryer.

These chips do take several hours to bake in the oven. To speed up the process, here’s how to make zucchini chips in the air fryer! Cook them for 5 minutes at 380 degrees, and then flip the chips and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Put a small wire rack on top of the chips to keep them from flying around in the air fryer (this also works when cooking bacon). You can grab a wire rack from Amazon if you don’t have one, just be sure to get the right size for your air fryer.

Hip tips for making the best cool ranch & vinegar keto zucchini chips:

  • Smaller zucchinis have more flavor! Stick to smaller ones when buying per pound at the grocery store so you can get the best taste while also getting the most bang for your buck.
  • Don’t be afraid to change up the recipe and add your favorite spices or seasonings to give them an extra kick! Try sprinkling on a little grated parmesan after you pull them out of the oven. Our homemade keto taco seasoning might even be good to use for a yummy batch of Mexican-style flavored zucchini chips!
  • Watch the chips pretty closely while they’re baking as they can get overcooked quickly.
  • These keto zucchini chips are best when they’re fresh, so be sure to eat them within a day or two before they get soggy.

My Hip sidekick Jenna gave this recipe a try and here’s what she thought:

“These are so flavorful and way better than any other chip snack. My favorite flavor of potato chips is Salt & Vinegar and these blow those out of the water! Make sure you slice them uniformly and thin enough so they get crispy – and when they do, they are awesome. 🙌 I will definitely make these again for my family!”

    Thanks these were tasty but found them difficult to cook in an air fryer.. the thin chips kept flying around and bunching up so I’ll try them in the oven next time.

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for your feedback on how well this recipe worked for you, Del99!

  2. Jennifer Babij

    Where do the carbs come from? The zucchini?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Yes! Depending on the size, it seems one zucchini can have 6-10g of total carbs. Hope this helps!

  3. Kandi

    These look good, since I love chips!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hope you love these too!

  4. Rebecca

    Can you dry these in a food dehydrator? Have you tried that method?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Yes! It looks like that can work too! Let us know how they turn out if you decide to make them that way!

    • Cecile S

      My thoughts exactly! Looking forward to trying them there as well.

  5. Payme

    I have had good success carefully frying/sauteeing slowly in browned butter. Sure doesn’t take hours! and tastes amazing.

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      Sounds yummy, Payme! Thanks for sharing how you’ve prepared these! ❤️
