Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips are a light, healthy, and satisfying snack made with thinly sliced zucchini, seasoned breadcrumbs, and a touch of Parmesan. Baked until golden and crisp, they’re the perfect guilt-free alternative to fried chips.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, finely grated (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Cooking spray, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. Slice zucchini into thin, even rounds about ⅛ inch thick. Use a mandoline if available.
  3. Toss zucchini slices in olive oil until evenly coated.
  4. In a shallow dish, combine panko, Parmesan (if using), salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  5. Press each zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides lightly. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Chips will crisp up further as they sit.

Notes

  • Add extra Parmesan for a cheesier flavor.
  • Use red pepper flakes or cayenne for added heat.
  • Try Italian seasoning for a herby twist.
  • Experiment with almond meal or crushed cornflakes as an alternative coating.
