Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) to prepare for slow baking the zucchini slices into chips.
- Slice Zucchini: Slice the zucchinis into thin, even rounds to ensure they bake evenly and become crispy.
- Toss with Seasoning: In a bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat each slice.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, avoiding overlap for even cooking.
- Bake the Chips: Bake the slices for 2 hours at the preheated temperature, flipping the chips halfway through the baking time to achieve crispiness on both sides.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool completely before serving. Cooling helps them crisp up further.
Notes
- For best results, slice zucchinis as thinly as possible using a mandoline slicer.
- Make sure to flip the chips halfway through baking to ensure even crisping.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- You can experiment with other seasonings like garlic powder or paprika for added flavor.
- Use a baking rack on top of the baking sheet to allow air circulation for extra crispiness.
