Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips

  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

 Crispy baked zucchini chips are a healthy and delicious alternative to potato chips. Made with simple ingredients and baked to perfection, these crunchy snacks are perfect for dipping or enjoying on their own.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for added color and flavor)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  2. Slice the Zucchini: Use a knife or mandoline to cut zucchinis into thin slices (about 1/8 inch thick). Pat slices dry with a paper towel.
  3. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and milk. In another bowl, mix panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  4. Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture, let excess drip off, then coat in breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to adhere. Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake the Chips: Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Let chips cool slightly before serving. Enjoy plain or with a dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
