Ingredients You’ll Need

2 medium zucchinis

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)

How to Make the Crispy Keto Zucchini Chips

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 225°F (110°C). While it’s warming up, slice your zucchini into thin, even rounds. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips.

Step 2: Season the Slices

Place your zucchini slices in a large bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil, making sure each slice gets a little love. Then, sprinkle on the parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the slices are evenly coated.

Step 3: Arrange on the Baking Sheet

Lay the zucchini slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re in a single layer and not overlapping, this helps them cook evenly.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Pop the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Check them occasionally. You’re looking for them to be golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Cool and Enjoy

Once they’re done, let them cool for a bit. They’ll get even crispier as they cool down. Then, dig in and enjoy your homemade keto zucchini chips!

Tips for The Perfect Crispy Keto Zucchini Chips

Pat dry thoroughly:

Excess moisture is the enemy of crispiness.

Use a wire rack:

If you have a wire rack, place it on your baking sheet. This allows air to circulate around the chips, making them crispier.

Slice Evenly:

Use a mandoline slicer if you have one. It helps keep all the slices the same thickness. Consistent thickness ensures they bake evenly.

Don’t Overcrowd:

Give each slice some space on the baking sheet. Overlapping slices won’t crisp up properly.

Variations to Try

Spicy Zucchini Chips

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to your seasoning mix. They’ll have a nice kick that’s perfect for spice lovers.

Herbed Zucchini Chips

Before baking, sprinkle some dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano on the zucchini slices. It adds a lovely, fragrant touch.

Cheesy Zucchini Chips

Use a mix of parmesan and cheddar cheese for a richer, cheesier flavor. Cheese lovers will go nuts over these.

Ranch-Flavored Zucchini Chips

Mix a packet of ranch seasoning with the olive oil before tossing the zucchini slices. It’s like having ranch dip built right into the chips.
