Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Slice the Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the zucchinis into thin, even rounds for uniform baking and crispiness.
- Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to ensure all slices are evenly coated. If using, add grated Parmesan cheese and toss again.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer without overlapping, to ensure they crisp up properly.
- Bake Until Crispy: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 1 to 1.5 hours, flipping the slices halfway through. Bake until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This allows them to crisp up further. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, slice zucchini as thinly as possible using a mandoline.
- Keep an eye on the chips in the last 15 minutes to prevent burning.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Optional parmesan adds a savory twist but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust salt to taste depending on parmesan usage.
