Description

Baked Zucchini Chips are a crispy, healthy snack that offers a satisfying crunch with minimal effort. Thinly sliced zucchinis are seasoned and baked to perfection, providing a delicious alternative to traditional chips. They are perfect for a light snack or a crunchy side dish and can be customized with various seasonings to suit your taste.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Zucchini Chips:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick)
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil or your preferred cooking oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Parmesan cheese, or any herbs/spices of your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Slice the Zucchini:
    • Slice the zucchinis into thin, even rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform slices, but a sharp knife can also be used.
  • Dry the Zucchini:
    • Place the slices on paper towels, pat them dry to remove excess moisture, and lightly sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes, then pat dry again.
  • Season the Zucchini:
    • Toss the zucchini slices with olive oil in a large mixing bowl until evenly coated. Add salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings, and toss to combine.
  • Arrange on Baking Sheets:
    • Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, avoiding overlap.
  • Bake the Zucchini Chips:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 1-2 hours, checking every 30 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even cooking. Bake until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Let the chips cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container

Notes

  • Consistency: Ensure slices are uniformly thin for even baking and crispiness.
  • Drying: Patting the slices dry and salting them before baking helps remove excess moisture for a crispier result.
