Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cool running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the zucchini, sweet potato, and carrots into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick for even cooking.
Place the sliced vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat every piece.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, dried oregano, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this spice blend over the oiled vegetable slices and toss again until evenly distributed.
Spread the vegetable slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure that the slices do not overlap for uniform crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then rotate the trays and flip the vegetable slices over to ensure even cooking.
Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crisp. Watch them closely to prevent burning, especially in the final minutes.
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. They will become crisper as they cool.
Serve immediately for optimum crunch, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
