Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 230°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, cut the zucchinis into uniform thin slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, ensuring that all slices are lightly coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the zucchini slices and toss again to ensure even coverage of the spices.

Step 6

Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 7

Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 hours, flipping the slices halfway through the baking time.

Step 8

Check the chips around the 1-hour mark to ensure they are not burning. They should be golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Once done, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets. This will help them crisp up further.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a snack or side, or store in an airtight container for a couple of days.
