Zucchini Chips

Crispy and flavorful, these baked zucchini chips make for a guilt-free snack that satisfies your crunch cravings. With a hint of seasoning and a perfect texture, they are a delightful alternative to traditional potato chips.

Ingredients

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

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice them thinly (about 3-5 mm thick) using a sharp knife or a mandoline.
3. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well 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 25-30 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for added flavor.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
