Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini sliced into 1/8" rounds; see note 2
  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place an oven proof wire rack over a large rimmed baking sheet and spray it generously with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini rounds with the olive oil. Be sure that the rounds are sliced nice and thin or they will not get crispy.

  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs,1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese,1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Dip the zucchini rounds into the breadcrumb mixture until each round is well coated, then place them on the prepared wire rack.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Serve with ranch dressing if desired and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Pro tip: Be sure to slice the zucchini thinly or they will not become crispy. They should be about 1/8″ thick, which can be done with a knife or you can use a mandolin slicer if you prefer.
  2. While this recipe turns out great for most, some people experience soggy zucchini. To avoid this, salt the zucchini rounds and place in a colander for 10 minutes to draw out the moisture. From there, rinse and blot dry and proceed with Step 2 in the instructions.
  3. Baked zucchini chips are best enjoyed immediately as-is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
  4. Use gluten free breadcrumbs if gluten intolerant.  For keto diets, sub the breadcrumbs with additional parmesan cheese.
