Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them very thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for consistent thickness.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil to coat them evenly. This helps them crisp up in the oven.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. If you are using Parmesan cheese, add it to the spice mix.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the zucchini slices, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure there's no overlap to allow even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, flipping the slices halfway through, until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet to let them crisp up further.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for a crispy snack later.
