1. Can I use a different type of vinegar for the Salt and Vinegar Zucchini Chips?

Yes, you can experiment with different types of vinegar! While white balsamic vinegar provides a light and slightly sweet flavor, you can substitute it with apple cider vinegar, rice wine vinegar, or even regular white vinegar. Each type of vinegar will give the chips a slightly different flavor profile, so feel free to try and find your favorite!

2. How do I ensure the Salt and Vinegar Zucchini Chips stay crispy after making them?

To keep your zucchini chips crispy, store them in an airtight container after they have cooled completely. If you live in a humid climate, you may also want to consider using a desiccant packet or wrapping the chips in foil to maintain their crunch. The dehydrator method tends to yield the crispiest chips, but the air fryer and oven methods work well, too, with a bit of care.

3. Can I make Salt and Vinegar Zucchini Chips ahead of time?

Absolutely! These chips store well for a few days if kept in an airtight container. You can even double or triple the recipe for a party or weekly snack prep. If they begin to soften over time, you can crisp them up again in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes before serving.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Use a mandolin or sharp knife to slice the zucchini as thin as possible.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and white balsamic vinegar.
Toss the zucchini slices in the oil and vinegar mixture until evenly coated.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the trays of a dehydrator or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
For the dehydrator: Set the temperature to 135°F and dehydrate for 8 to 14 hours, depending on the thickness of the slices.
For the oven: Bake at 200°F for 2-3 hours, rotating the trays halfway through.
For the air fryer: Preheat to 250°F, arrange zucchini slices in the basket, and air fry for 10 minutes. Flip the chips and air fry for another 10-15 minutes until crispy.
Once cooked, sprinkle the zucchini chips with coarse sea salt while still warm.
Allow the chips to cool completely before serving or storing them in an airtight container to keep crispy.

Notes

For extra crispiness, make sure your zucchini slices are very thin.
If using the oven or air fryer, keep an eye on the chips towards the end to avoid burning them.
To store, keep the chips in an airtight container to preserve their crunch.
Experiment with different types of vinegar to change the flavor profile (e.g., apple cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar).
