Low-Carb Zucchini Chips Recipe
(Serves 4)
These crispy, crunchy zucchini chips are a perfect low-carb snack that’s both healthy and delicious. They’re simple to make and packed with flavor!
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. The thinner you slice them, the crispier they will become.
- Lay the zucchini slices on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This step helps to make the chips crispier.
3. Season the Zucchini:
- In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the zucchini slices in the seasoning mixture, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
4. Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
- Lay the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the slices don’t overlap for even crisping.
5. Bake the Zucchini Chips:
- Bake the zucchini slices in the preheated oven for 1 to 1.5 hours, flipping the slices halfway through. Keep an eye on them toward the end to prevent burning.
- Once they are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven.
6. Optional Garnish:
- Sprinkle fresh Parmesan cheese over the chips while they’re still hot for extra flavor (optional).
7. Serve:
- Allow the zucchini chips to cool for a few minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
