Baked Zucchini Chips

Baked Zucchini Chips are a crispy, healthy snack that offers a delightful crunch while being low in calories. Perfectly seasoned, these chips provide a guilt-free alternative to traditional potato chips.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium (about 300g)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g)
• Garlic powder - 1/4 teaspoon (1g)
• Paprika - 1/4 teaspoon (1g)
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon (1g)
• Parmesan cheese (optional) - 2 tablespoons (10g)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and slice the zucchini into thin rounds, approximately 3mm thick.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through, until the edges are golden and crispy.
6. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the chips for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
