Description

Indulge in a guilt-free snack with these Crunchy Zucchini Chips, a healthy alternative to traditional potato chips. Thinly sliced zucchinis are seasoned and baked to crispy perfection, making them the ultimate savory treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini Chips:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced (1/8-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • nonstick cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Zucchini: Place zucchini slices on a paper towel and gently press to remove excess moisture. In a bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper until evenly coated. If using, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  3. Bake: Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets without overlapping. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crisp. Watch closely during the last 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Cool and Serve: Let the chips cool on the baking sheets to crisp up further. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • For best results, slice zucchini evenly using a mandoline.
  • You can experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika, chili powder, or Italian herbs.
