Ingredients
-
Olive oil spray
-
2 medium zucchini (about 1 pound total)
-
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (not shredded)
Instructions
1- Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
2-Slice the Zucchini
Slice the zucchini into ⅛-inch-thick rounds. Keep them even for consistent crisping.
3-Salt & Rest (Don’t Skip!)
Sprinkle slices with ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Place them in a colander over the sink and let sit for 30 minutes. This draws out excess moisture for crispier chips.
After resting, rinse quickly and pat completely dry with paper towels.
4-First Bake
Arrange slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, checking at the 10-minute mark. They should look slightly dried and just beginning to brown.
5-Add the Flavor Boost
Remove from oven. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan. No need to flip.
6-Final Bake
Return to oven and bake 15–20 more minutes, until browned and crisp.
Some slices may crisp faster — remove those early and continue baking the rest.
