Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Using a mandoline slicer, slice the zucchini into thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
In another bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Dip each zucchini slice into the almond flour mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Gently press the mixture onto each slice to help it adhere.
Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping the slices to ensure they crisp evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crispy. Check the chips frequently toward the end of the cooking time to prevent burning, as cooking times can vary.
Once baked, remove the zucchini chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up further.
Serve immediately as a snack or a healthy side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
