Notes
For crispier zucchini coins, cut the coins very thinly (a mandoline helps here). Then, you’ll want to take down the temperature on the air fryer and watch closely—thinner zucchini chips will burn easily. Or, try pre-salting the ¼-inch zucchini coins and letting them drain in a colander for 15 minutes. Pat them dry before tossing with olive oil and pepper (you won’t need any more salt), and continue with the recipe. They may brown faster than zucchini that hasn’t been salted, so check them after 10 or 15 minutes.
If you are new to air frying, know that there are different types of air fryers. Many of them vary in how hot they get, and how quickly. Play with your settings and watch carefully. You may find you need to reduce the temperature in a recipe or reduce the cook time.
