A quick and easy healthy baked snack featuring thinly sliced zucchini coated with parmesan and seasonings, baked to crispy perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Slice the zucchini into 1/8-inch (about 3mm) thick slices using a mandoline or sharp knife, aiming for uniform thickness.
  3. Dry the zucchini slices thoroughly by laying them on paper towels and pressing more towels on top to soak up excess moisture.
  4. In a mixing bowl, toss zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until lightly coated.
  5. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each slice.
  6. Sprinkle the grated parmesan evenly over the zucchini slices.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, starting to check at 12 minutes to prevent burning. Rotate the pan halfway through baking if needed.
  8. Remove from the oven and transfer chips to a cooling rack to keep them crispy. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container once fully cooled.

Notes

Dry zucchini slices thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Watch parmesan closely to avoid burning; tent with foil if needed. For extra even crispness, flip chips halfway through baking. Store cooled chips in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture and keep crisp up to 2 days. Reheat in oven at 375°F for 3-5 minutes to refresh crispness.
