These crispy baked zucchini chips come in three flavorful twists—spicy, cheesy, and herby—offering a quick, healthy, and irresistible snack option that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/8-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • For the Spicy Twist:
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • For the Cheesy Parmesan Twist:
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano blend)
  • For the Herby Twist:
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Slice the zucchinis into about 1/8-inch (3 mm) rounds. Pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Divide zucchini slices evenly into three bowls, one for each flavor twist.
  4. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons olive oil over each bowl. Toss gently to coat each slice. Add salt and black pepper evenly across all bowls, tossing again.
  5. Add the seasoning blends: spicy bowl with smoked paprika, cayenne, and garlic powder; cheesy bowl with Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian herbs; herby bowl with rosemary, thyme, parsley, and lemon zest.
  6. Arrange slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, avoiding overlap.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate pans and flip slices gently. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and crisp. Watch closely after 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and transfer chips to a cooling rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Cool slightly before serving to allow chips to crisp up fully.

Notes

Pat zucchini slices dry to remove moisture for crispiness. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking, especially for cheesy chips. Flip chips halfway through baking for even crisping. Let chips cool for 5 minutes before eating to firm up. Re-crisp leftover chips in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes. Avoid freezing as it softens chips.
