These crispy parmesan crusted zucchini chips are a quick, easy, and healthy baked snack that delivers a satisfying crunch and rich flavor without frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized zucchinis, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch or 3 mm thick)
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly, patting dry with a clean towel.
  3. Slice the zucchini thinly, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and paprika if using, ensuring each slice is lightly coated.
  5. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and gently toss again so the cheese clings to each slice.
  6. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, leaving space between slices for air circulation.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through baking. Start checking at 15 minutes to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to crisp up further.
  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.

Notes

Use fresh Parmesan cheese for best crispiness. Pat zucchini dry thoroughly to avoid soggy chips. Flip chips halfway through baking for even crisping. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and re-crisp in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes before serving.
