Bariatric Friendly Air Fried Zucchini Chips

It’s summer, which means it’s squash season! Go ahead and pick a zucchini squash from your garden or stop by your local farmers market. When shopping for this air fried zucchini chip recipe, you want to keep an eye out for a tender squash and not one of those oversized seedy ones because we don’t want you to have to clean out those seeds. This recipe is meant to be as quick and easy as possible.

After air-frying or baking these bariatric chips for the first time, you may never want to buy a bag of potato chips again. This recipe proves that you can make more than just protein in your air-fryer. Similar to our previous recipes involving chicken, there’s hardly any work or oil involved, making these zucchini chips even more healthy for you and your bariatric diet. You likely won’t experience a “heaviness” after snacking on these bariatric friendly chips.

Whether you want to serve these as a side at lunch and dinner or as a substitute for your movie-watching popcorn, these zucchini chips will deliver in both crisp and flavor. If you ever get tired of these bariatric chips, (which we highly doubt), you can try this same method with other vegetables. Keep checking back, we may add a few different air fried veggies into our bariatric recipe mix.

Tip: add parmesan cheese to your seasoning to add even more deliciousness to the recipe.
