EASY OVEN-BAKED ZUCCHINI CHIPS
These easy oven-baked zucchini chips are easy to make and are thin, crispy, and irresistible! Did I mention they were healthy, too? Oven-baked to crisp perfection!
Here’s another zucchini recipe to add to your repertoire. Easy oven-baked zucchini chips are both delicious and a healthy way to snack!
Veggie chips rock my world. I buy large bags of them at Costco and go to town. They’re dangerously addicting and I feel like eating the entire bag helps me get more than a day’s worth of veggies in. Haha, or at least I’d like to think that way. Probably not the best.
These oven-baked zucchini chips that I made are definitely made of REAL zucchinis and using my mandolin to slice up these discs was really relaxing. I was kind of sad when I came to the end of the zucchini and couldn’t slice up anymore, lol
These delicate chips take a bit of time to make – honestly, waiting was probably the worst part of it. It’s extremely simple but having to wait for them to finish crisping up was torture! I just wanted to eat them immediately!
Thin, crispy, and irresistible! These zucchini chips are a great way to use up all that zucchini in your garden!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets (I used two 17" baking sheets) with silicon baking mats or parchment paper.
- Slice your zucchini on a mandolin. Mine had 1, 2, or 3 for thickness and I used 2.
- After you slice your zucchini, place the slices on a sheet of paper towels and take another paper towel and sandwich the zucchini slices and press on them. This helps draw out the liquid so it'll cook a bit faster.
- Line up the zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet tightly next to each other in a straight line, making sure not to overlap them.
- In a small bowl, pour your olive oil in and take a pastry brush to brush the olive oil on each zucchini slice.
- Sprinkle salt throughout the baking sheet. Do NOT over-season, in fact, it's better to use less salt initially because the slices will shrink; so if you over-season, it'll be way too salty! You can always add more later.
- Bake for 2+ hours until they start to brown and aren't soggy and are crisp.
- Let cool before removing and serving.
- Keep in an airtight container for no more than 3 days.
RECIPE NOTES
**Updated March 5, 2017**
Here is the video for the recipe if you are a visual person.
I have figured out why some people have said this recipe didn't work for them and/or why it sticks to parchment paper and/or why their chips are soggy. I re-tested this recipe again and it worked out for me if you follow instructions 100%.
Thinly sliced zucchini rounds is a must. If you watch the video, you will see I used a mandolin slicer.
You must use paper towels to press out excess liquid. This is key.
You must lightly oil the zucchini chips.
You must bake the zucchini chips at 225 degrees Fahrenheit until you see that most liquid/oil has cooked off. The reason why some people have said it sticks to parchment paper and/or the chips are soggy is because you didn't cook them long enough. Once the oil has cooked off completely, the chips will crisp up and not be soggy, therefore it won't stick onto the parchment paper.
It might stick to your parchment paper because you are trying to remove it from the oven too quickly and not giving it enough time to actually crisp up.
You also should let it cool on the parchment paper for at least 10 minutes before trying to remove it from the parchment paper.
Patience is key in this recipe :)
