Ingredients:
For the Zucchini Chips:
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/8″ rounds
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Greek yogurt ranch for dipping (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with an ovenproof wire rack and spray it generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking. - Prepare the Zucchini Rounds:
In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini rounds with olive oil, making sure each slice is evenly coated. - Make the Breading Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and salt. This combination will add a crunchy texture and a burst of savory flavor. - Coat the Zucchini Slices:
Dip each zucchini round into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure both sides are coated evenly. - Arrange and Bake:
Arrange the coated zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Make sure they are not overlapping so they can crisp up properly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crispy. - Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the zucchini chips warm, and if desired, pair them with a Greek yogurt ranch dip for an extra layer of flavor. Enjoy them as a light snack or a healthy side dish!
