Zucchini Chips Recipe
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: Approx. 2 hours 30 minutes
Yield: 2-4
Ingredients
- 4 zucchinis, chopped into coins
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Optional Spices: chili or paprika
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 220° F.
- Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Clean and pat the zucchini dry with a towel.
- Cut them into thin slices using a mandolin or a knife so that they are shaped like little coins (like chips).
- Place them flat on the oiled baking sheet or parchment paper to prevent them from sticking.
- Season the chops with salt and pepper (and any of your other seasoning) to taste.
- Bake for 2hours and 30 minutes until they are crisp. Check on them every 30 minutes and rotate as needed.
- Enjoy!
Note: Make sure to cook them until crispy in a very low oven (220 ˚F) and do not turn it up to make the process faster, they will burn! I suggest using parchment paper so that it doesn’t stick to the baking sheet.
I have experimented with several ways to obtain tasty and slightly crispy chips. Thick, thin, extra-thin slices, baked in the oven or pan, etc., so here’s the recipe for the best result. And since it’s a simple recipe that can vary depending on what you have on hand!
Don’t hesitate to make this recipe; it’s a no guilt’s snacks that you can enjoy at any time of the day. Plus it’s super easy to make, healthier and I would even say tastier than the regular chips!
