Preheat your oven to 225°C (435°F) and line two large baking trays with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Using a mandolin or a very sharp knife, slice the zucchinis into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the zucchini slices and gently toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking trays. Ensure there is enough space between each slice to allow for even cooking.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the zucchini slices evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crispy. It may be necessary to flip the chips halfway through the baking time for even crispiness.
Once done, remove the trays from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the trays for a few minutes. This will help them crisp up further.
Transfer the cooled chips to a serving bowl and enjoy them right away, or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
