Oven-Baked Zucchini Chips are a simple way to turn fresh zucchini into a crispy, snackable side. They come out golden on the outside with a light crunch from the Parmesan breadcrumb coating, making them a great alternative to heavier fried snacks.
These are perfect when you want something quick and a little lighter but still full of flavor. The combination of Parmesan and garlic adds just enough punch, and they’re easy to pair with your favorite dipping sauce or serve alongside dinner.
Helpful Tips
- Slice the zucchini evenly so they cook at the same rate and crisp up nicely.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan. Give each slice space so they roast instead of steam.
- For extra crispiness, place the chips on a wire rack over the baking sheet to allow air to circulate underneath.
