Description
Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips are a healthy, low-carb snack made with thinly sliced zucchini rounds baked until golden and crunchy. Seasoned to perfection and optionally topped with Parmesan, these addictive chips are perfect for guilt-free snacking, dipping, or serving as a wholesome side.
Ingredients
- Medium zucchini
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Paprika or smoked paprika (optional)
- Grated Parmesan (optional, for extra crispiness)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice zucchini into 1/8-inch-thick rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Lay slices on paper towels, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Blot zucchini dry, then toss with olive oil and seasonings.
- Arrange slices in a single layer on baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Let cool slightly before serving; chips will crisp further as they sit.
Notes
- Use ranch seasoning, Italian herbs, or chili powder to vary flavor.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan before baking for a cheesy twist.
- Air fryer version cuts time and still yields great crunch.
- Dusting with cornmeal adds texture and helps absorb moisture.
- Don’t refrigerate—store at room temperature to preserve crispness.
