These Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips are a healthy, crunchy snack made by coating thin zucchini slices in a savory blend of panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, then baking them to golden perfection. They offer a guilt-free alternative to traditional fried chips and are perfect for dipping in Greek yogurt ranch or your favorite sauce.

Ingredients

Zucchini Chips

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/8″ rounds
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Dipping Sauce (optional)

  • Greek yogurt ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Rack: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place an oven-proof wire rack on top of a large rimmed baking sheet and generously spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Toss Zucchini in Olive Oil: In a medium bowl, toss the thinly sliced zucchini rounds with olive oil to coat evenly. It is crucial that the slices are about 1/8-inch thick to achieve a crispy texture.
  3. Mix Coating: In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and salt. Stir well to blend the ingredients evenly.
  4. Coat Zucchini: Dip each zucchini round into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated on both sides, then arrange them in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
  5. Bake Until Crispy: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately, optionally with Greek yogurt ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Pro tip: Slice the zucchini thinly (about 1/8 inch) using a knife or mandolin slicer to ensure crispiness.
  • For extra crispness, you can salt the zucchini slices and let them sit for 10-15 minutes, then blot dry before coating.
  • Baked zucchini chips are best enjoyed immediately for optimal crispness.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
  • For keto-friendly chips, substitute breadcrumbs with additional parmesan cheese.
