Ingredients
Scale
Let’s keep it simple yet flavorful. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced thinly (about 1/8 inch)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Feel free to substitute the Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a vegan option, or swap the smoked paprika with a pinch of cayenne if you like a little heat!
Instructions
Alright, time to roll up those sleeves and get cooking! Here’s how you can make these chips in a snap:
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the zucchini slices on a clean kitchen towel, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- Pat the zucchini slices dry with another towel, then transfer them to a large bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the slices, and toss gently to coat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the zucchini slices, tossing to ensure even coating.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before serving.
These chips are a family favorite in my household, and I love watching my kids munch away on something healthy and delicious.
