Enjoy crispy, flavorful Baked Zucchini Chips, a perfect low-carb snack substitute that brings a taste of homemade goodness to your day. These chips are simple to make and satisfy that crunchy craving.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice the zucchinis very thinly, aiming for about 1/8 inch thickness. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform slices.
- In a bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until lightly coated. If using, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Do not overlap them.
- Bake for 1 hour. Flip the chips over.
- Continue baking for another 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chips are dry and crispy. Watch them closely toward the end to prevent burning.
- Turn off the oven and let the chips cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for extra crispness.
Notes
- Thin, even slices are key for achieving true crispiness.
- For a different flavor, try substituting Italian seasoning for the garlic powder.
- These chips store best in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
