Crispy, cheesy, and oh-so-delicious, these zucchini chips are a healthier alternative to potato chips and are perfect as a snack or side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced (about 1/4 inch)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with olive oil.
2. Prep the Zucchini
- Wash and slice the zucchinis into thin, uniform rounds.
- Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3. Season
- In a large bowl, toss zucchini slices with olive oil.
- Add Parmesan, salt, and pepper, tossing again to coat evenly.
4. Bake
- Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overlapping.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
5. Serve
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet for extra crispiness.
- Serve warm as a snack or side dish.
