Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips are a healthy, flavorful snack made by coating thin zucchini slices in a savory Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture and baking them until golden and crispy.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Slice zucchini into thin, uniform rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Lightly coat zucchini slices with olive oil or use cooking spray.
  5. Dip each slice into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to help the coating stick.
  6. Place the coated slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  8. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Add cayenne or smoked paprika for a spicy version.
  • Use dried herbs or fresh parsley for an herbed variation.
  • To make vegan, use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan and ensure vegan breadcrumbs.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
