Description
Light, crunchy, and perfectly seasoned, these crispy baked zucchini chips make a healthy snack or side—easy to make and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry zucchinis well. Slice them into ⅓-inch rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Arrange slices on paper towels and lightly sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry thoroughly.
- In a bowl, toss the slices with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and Parmesan (if using).
- Lay zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets without overlapping.
- Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
- Let cool for 5 minutes to finish crisping before serving.
Notes
- For best results, slice evenly and avoid crowding the pan so air circulates freely.
