Ingredients

• 2 large zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them very thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for consistent thickness.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil to coat them evenly. This helps them crisp up in the oven.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. If you are using Parmesan cheese, add it to the spice mix.

Step 5

Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the zucchini slices, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.

Step 6

Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure there's no overlap to allow even baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, flipping the slices halfway through, until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet to let them crisp up further.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for a crispy snack later.
