Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/8" rounds
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • cup panko breadcrumbs
  • cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • fresh herbs, for garnishing
  • yogurt or sour cream, for dipping, or use your favorite dipping sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice them into uniform 1/8-inch rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the zucchini slices in a colander and sprinkle them with sea salt. Allow them to sit for 5 to 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
  • Then, drain the liquid released by the zucchini and pat the slices dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Arrange the dried zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini slices, ensuring each slice is lightly coated.
  • In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
  • Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the zucchini slices, covering each slice with a generous coating.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crispy.
  • Once done, remove the zucchini from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and serve the crispy baked zucchini chips immediately as a snack or alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
