Avocado or olive oil spray – Helps the radishes crisp up while adding a hint of richness.
Salt and pepper – Classic seasoning to bring out flavor.
Garlic powder and onion powder – Add savory depth to every bite.
Pro Tips Before You Start
Slice the radishes evenly for consistent crispness.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket—air circulation is key!
Keep a close eye in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Like it spicy? Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cayenne!
How to Make Air Fryer Radish Chips
Step 1: Prep the Radishes
Wash and pat dry the radish slices thoroughly.
This helps them crisp instead of steam.
Step 2: First Season & Air Fry
Spread the radish slices in an even layer in your air fryer basket.
Spritz 3–4 times with avocado or olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Air fry at 370°F for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Stir & Repeat
Give the radishes a quick stir. Air fry for another 5 minutes.
Spritz again with 3–4 sprays of oil and a second light sprinkle of seasoning.
Step 4: Final Cook Time
Cook an additional 5 minutes, stir again, then finish with 3 more minutes.
Watch closely in the last minutes to ensure they don’t over-crisp.
What to Serve It With
These crispy radish chips are perfect on their own, but also great with:
A creamy ranch dip or Greek yogurt dressing
Spicy guacamole or avocado mash
As a crunchy side for burgers or grilled chicken
On top of salads for extra texture
Variations / Substitutions
Add paprika, cumin, or chili powder for different flavor profiles.
Use zucchini or turnip slices for variation.
Replace olive oil with coconut oil spray for a different twist.
Storage & Leftovers
Best enjoyed fresh and hot for optimal crunch.
If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness.
