Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Grated parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry zucchinis, then slice into thin rounds (about 1/8-inch thick).
- Lay slices on paper towels, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry.
- Toss zucchini slices in a bowl with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
- Add grated parmesan if desired and toss again.
- Arrange slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway through.
- Check around 90 minutes; bake until golden and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before serving for maximum crunch.
Notes
Slice zucchini evenly for consistent crispiness.
Removing moisture is key to avoiding soggy chips.
Use a mandoline slicer for best results.
Chips will crisp more as they cool.
Store in an airtight container and reheat briefly if needed.
