Baked Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Chips

Enjoy the perfect snack with our Baked Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Chips. Coated with garlic and Parmesan, they’re crispy, flavorful, and simple to make.

Ingredients:
3 to 4 zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch rounds (the thinner the chips, the crunchier they will get)
3 T extra virgin olive oil
salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 t dried oregano
1 t garlic powder
cooking spray

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450˚F. Line 3 baking sheets with foil; lightly spray with cooking spray and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini slices, olive oil, salt and pepper; mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic powder. Dip slices of zucchini in the cheese mixture and coat on both sides, pressing on the coating to stick. Place the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Lightly spray each zucchini slice with cooking spray. This will help with achieving a crunchier texture. Bake for 10 minutes; rotate the pan and continue to bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the zucchini chips are golden brown. Remove from oven. Transfer the chips to a plate and serve with plain yogurt, taratur, marinara sauce, or pesto.

Helpful Tips For Baking Zucchini Chips:
– Slice Uniformly: For even cooking, slice your zucchini into uniformly thick rounds. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips.
– Bread Properly: Make sure the zucchini slices are well-coated with the Parmesan-panko mixture. Pressing the coating onto the slices will help it adhere better.
– Avoid Overcrowding: Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. The zucchini slices should be in a single layer and not touching each other. This allows for even baking and helps the chips get crispy.
– Use Cooking Spray: A light spray of cooking oil on the coated zucchini slices before baking will aid in achieving a crunchier texture.
– Rotate The Pan: Rotating the pan halfway through baking helps to ensure even browning.
– Watch the Chips: Keep a close eye on the chips, especially towards the end of the baking time to avoid burning them. They can go from perfectly crisp to burnt quickly.
– Season After Baking: If you want to add more flavors, feel free to sprinkle the chips with a little more seasoning right after they come out of the oven. The heat will help the flavors adhere better.
