Tips:

  • Choose the Right Squash: Select firm and brightly colored yellow squash that are free of blemishes and bruises.
  • Slice Evenly: Use a sharp knife to cut the squash into uniform slices, this ensures even cooking.
  • Dry the Squash: Use a paper towel to pat the squash slices dry before seasoning and air frying. This helps the seasoning stick and prevents the chips from becoming soggy.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper is a classic choice, but feel free to experiment with your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating the air fryer helps the chips cook more evenly and prevents them from sticking to the basket.
  • Cook in Batches: If cooking a large batch of chips, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. This ensures that the chips cook evenly.
  • Shake the Basket: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and prevent the chips from sticking together.
  • Monitor the Chips: Keep an eye on the chips as they cook, adjusting the cooking time if necessary. Overcooked chips can become dry and tough.
