Ingredients

2 cups of mixed vegetables (carrots, zucchini, and sweet potatoes)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 teaspoon of paprika

Instructions

Step 1: Wash and slice the vegetables thinly to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Step 2: In a bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until well coated.
Step 3: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
Step 4: Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
Step 5: Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Step 6: Remove the chips when they are crispy and golden brown.
Step 7: Let the chips cool before serving to enhance their crunch.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, slice the vegetables as thinly as possible using a mandoline.
Try adding different spices like garlic powder, chili powder, or cumin for varied flavors.
Use a mix of root vegetables such as beets or parsnips for colorful chips.
If your air fryer is small, cook the chips in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Storage

Store leftover veggie chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best eaten fresh as they may lose crispness over time. To re-crisp, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes before serving.

FAQs

Can I use frozen vegetables to make these chips?

It’s best to use fresh vegetables because frozen ones contain more moisture, which can prevent the chips from becoming crispy.

How thin should the vegetable slices be?

Slices about 1/8-inch thick or thinner work best for crispiness; thicker slices may be softer after cooking.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

2 cups of mixed vegetables (carrots, zucchini, and sweet potatoes)

Seasoning

1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 teaspoon of paprika

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables: Wash and slice the carrots, zucchini, and sweet potatoes into thin, even slices to ensure they cook uniformly and become crispy.
Season the vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat, which helps in achieving a crispier texture.
Arrange vegetables: Place the seasoned vegetable slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
Cook the chips: Air fry the vegetables for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure all sides crisp up evenly.
Check for doneness: Remove the chips when they are crispy and golden brown, indicating they are cooked through and have the desired texture.
Cool and serve: Let the veggie chips cool slightly before serving, which helps them firm up and enhances the crunch.

Notes

Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin slices to ensure even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air flow for crispiness.
Adjust seasoning to taste; you can add other spices like garlic powder or chili powder for extra flavor.
Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
Cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model and thickness of vegetable slices.
