Easy Oven Baked Zucchini Chips
These zucchini chips are a game-changer. They’re crispy, seasoned just right, and super easy to whip up. Ready to impress your friends or just enjoy a solo snack? Here’s what you need to get started.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced thinly
- Olive oil spray or about 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). This low temp is the secret to getting them crispy without burning.
- Slice the zucchini as thinly as you can. Aim for about 1/8 inch thick so they get that perfect crunch.
- If you’ve got a mandoline, now’s the time to use it. Otherwise, a sharp knife works just fine. Just be careful with those fingers!
- Once you’ve sliced them up, lay the zucchini slices out on paper towels. Sprinkle a little salt over them and let them sit for about 30 minutes. This step helps draw out some moisture and makes for crunchier chips.
- After 30 minutes, pat the slices dry with more paper towels.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer. Don’t let them overlap, or they won’t crisp up properly!
- Give them a light spray of olive oil, or brush on your olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if you’re feeling fancy.
- Bake in the oven for 1-1.5 hours, flipping them about halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
- Keep an eye on them towards the end; they can go from perfectly crisp to burnt in a flash!
- Once they are golden and crispy, take them out and let them cool before diving in. Trust me, they won’t last long!
Now you’ve got some deliciously crunchy, oven-baked zucchini chips that are perfect for dipping or just snacking on by themselves. Go ahead, treat yourself—you deserve it!
