Have you tried using an air fryer yet?  I was hesitate to try it as I thought surely it can’t be as good as a traditional fryer but I think it might be even better!  Now I love cooking in the air fryer.

This air fryer is the one that I currently have and I really like it.  It works great and clean up is easy too.

We recently made this Air Fryer Salmon Recipe and it was amazing!

Do air fryers make food crispy?

Essentially, the air fryer moves air quickly over food similar to broiling it in an oven that it gives the food a similar tastes to food that has been fried in oil. It is crispy and delicious without all of the oil!

The air fryer doesn’t require a large amount of oil like a traditional fryer requires so foods cooked in the air fryer generally have less calories and less fat than fried foods.

You can have perfectly cooked zucchini chips in air fryer every time!

The air fryer gets the chips so crispy and the texture is so amazing. Just remember my trick to getting perfectly sliced zucchini is to use a veggie slicer like this one.

It is great because you can slice up a few zucchinis in just a few minutes and is much faster than doing it by hand.

AND.. they are all the same thickness so they cook the same amount of time. Each slice is uniform and the slicer makes it so quick and easy.

It really does help to have each slice the same size. The zucchini chips will  cook so evenly and each one will take the same amount of cooking time.
