These crispy zucchini chips are a delightful and healthy snack, perfect for satisfying your cravings without the guilt. They are easy to make and a great way to use up fresh zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C).
  2. Wash and thinly slice the zucchini into uniform rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a mandoline for consistent slices.
  3. Pat the zucchini slices thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. This step is key for crispiness.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the dried zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using). Make sure each slice is lightly coated.
  5. Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary.
  6. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. The baking time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of your slices.
  7. Halfway through baking, flip the chips to ensure even crisping.
  8. Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the chips in the oven with the door slightly ajar for another 15-20 minutes to allow them to cool and crisp up further.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving. They will become even crispier as they cool.

Notes

  • The key to crispy zucchini chips is to remove as much moisture as possible before baking and to bake them at a low temperature for a longer period.
  • For extra flavor, you can experiment with other seasonings like onion powder, dried herbs, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They may lose some crispiness over time.
