Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 230°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, cut the zucchinis into uniform thin slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, ensuring that all slices are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the zucchini slices and toss again to ensure even coverage of the spices.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 hours, flipping the slices halfway through the baking time.
Check the chips around the 1-hour mark to ensure they are not burning. They should be golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets. This will help them crisp up further.
Serve immediately as a snack or side, or store in an airtight container for a couple of days.
