Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim off the ends.
- Slice the zucchini thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform slices.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until lightly coated.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over both sides of the zucchini slices.
- Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving, as they will crisp up more as they cool.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure your zucchini slices are as thin as possible.
- Patting the zucchini slices dry before tossing with oil can also help achieve a crispier result.
- Adjust seasonings to your preference.
