Ingredients

  • Main Ingredients

    • 2 medium zucchinis (6–8 inches long)

    • 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil for extra crispiness)

    • ½ tsp salt

    • ¼ tsp black pepper

    • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

    • ¼ tsp paprika (optional)

    Flavor Variations (Optional)

    • Italian Style: Add ½ tsp dried oregano and ¼ tsp Parmesan cheese

    • Spicy Kick: Add ¼ tsp chili powder or crushed red pepper flakes

    • Sweet & Spicy: Mix ½ tsp honey with ¼ tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Set your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack on top for better airflow.

  • Prepare the Zucchini:
    Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly. Slice them into thin, even rounds (about 1/16–⅛ inch thick) using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.

  • Remove Moisture:
    Lay slices on paper towels and sprinkle with a bit of salt. Let them sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.

  • Season the Slices:
    In a bowl, toss zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired seasonings until evenly coated.

  • Arrange for Baking:
    Spread slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping — air circulation is key for crispiness.

  • Bake Until Crisp:
    Bake for 2–3 hours, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Watch closely during the last 20 minutes to prevent burning.

  • Cool & Serve:

  • Remove from oven and let chips cool completely — they’ll crisp up more as they cool. Enjoy immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Re-crisp in a low oven if needed.

  • Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes, shaking halfway through.

  • For Extra Crunch: Slice thinner and bake longer at a lower temperature.

  • Diet-Friendly: Suitable for keto, paleo, vegan, and gluten-free diets.
