Scale
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the zucchinis: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them into thin, even rounds to ensure they become crispy when cooked.
- Season the slices: Place the zucchini rounds in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika.
- Arrange for cooking: Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Bake until crispy: Preheat your oven to 225°F (105°C) and bake the zucchini slices for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Check periodically to avoid over-browning and to achieve a perfect crunch.
- Cool and serve: Remove the zucchini chips from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. This step helps them crisp up further. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later snacking.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle parmesan cheese on the chips during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- You can experiment by mixing other vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes with zucchinis for varied flavor and color.
- Ensure slices are uniformly thin to help them cook evenly and become crunchy.
- Store cooked zucchini chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best crispness.
