INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 225°C (450°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the thinly sliced zucchini in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to ensure all slices are coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder (optional). Mix well.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the zucchini slices and toss again to evenly coat each slice.
- Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, remove the zucchini chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
- Transfer the cooled chips to a serving bowl or plate and enjoy immediately.
TIPS
- Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the zucchini into thin, uniform slices for even baking.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheet as this can prevent the chips from becoming crispy. If necessary, bake the zucchini chips in multiple batches.
- Experiment with different seasonings and spices to customize the flavor of your zucchini chips. Try adding a pinch of chili powder, cumin, or dried herbs for a unique twist.
- Keep an eye on the baking time as it may vary depending on the thickness of the zucchini slices and the oven temperature. Adjust the baking time accordingly to achieve the desired level of crispness.
- Serve the baked zucchini chips as a standalone snack or pair them with a healthy dip like Greek yogurt or homemade salsa.
