Ingredients
For the Chips

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Blot with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Mixing
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Baking
- Spread the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use uniform zucchini slices and experiment with herbs/spices like cayenne for heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days but reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
