Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick, using a sharp knife or a mandoline for even slices.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the oiled zucchini slices and toss gently to combine.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the grated parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each zucchini slice into the parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overlap them for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crisp. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up evenly.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Serve the zucchini chips warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
