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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
