Zucchini Chips Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis (about 300g)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) to ensure a low and slow baking process for crispy chips.
- Prepare Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds approximately 1/8 inch thick for even crisping.
- Season Zucchini: In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until all slices are coated evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheets: Line baking sheets with parchment paper and spread the zucchini slices in a single layer without overlapping to allow proper airflow and crispiness.
- Bake and Flip: Bake the slices for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to achieve uniform crispness. Monitor closely as cooking times can vary.
- Cool and Serve: Remove zucchini chips from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack to maintain their crunch before serving.
Notes
- Ensure zucchini slices are very thin for maximum crispiness.
- Flip halfway through baking to prevent sogginess and ensure even cooking.
- Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days to retain crunch.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more spices or herbs as desired.
- Monitor baking time carefully as ovens vary; avoid burning.
