Ingredients
Scale
Zucchini Chips
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and thinly slice the zucchinis into rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure they bake evenly and become crisp.
- Season the Chips: In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, and salt until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote crisping.
- Bake Until Crisp: Bake in a preheated oven at 225°F (110°C) for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini chips are dry and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet to become even crispier before serving as a healthy snack.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, slice zucchinis as thin as possible without breaking.
- Store baked chips in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
- You can experiment with other seasonings like garlic powder or chili flakes for variety.
