Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
Liquid:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to precisely 225°F, creating the perfect low-temperature environment for dehydrating zucchini slices.
- Grab your mandoline or sharpest knife and create paper-thin zucchini rounds, aiming for uniform ⅛-inch thickness to ensure even crisping.
- Whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, adding a pinch of salt for flavor enhancement.
- Gently coat each zucchini slice in the seasoned oil mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage for maximum flavor absorption.
- Arrange the coated slices in a single, non-overlapping layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, giving each chip breathing room for optimal crispness.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 225°F oven and bake for 90 minutes, carefully flipping the chips at the 45-minute mark to promote uniform dehydration.
- Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool completely, letting them crisp up further as they reach room temperature.
Notes
- Slice zucchini super thin for maximum crispness, aiming for almost translucent rounds that will dry out perfectly.
- Blot excess moisture from zucchini slices with paper towels before seasoning to ensure the chips get extra crispy and don’t become soggy.
- Experiment with different spice blends like ranch seasoning, Italian herbs, or chili powder to create exciting flavor variations that match your taste preferences.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, which prevents proper air circulation and results in steamed instead of crispy zucchini chips.
