Baked Zucchini Chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 475°F.

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices.

In a shallow bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

Place the egg whites in a small mixing bowl. Dip the zucchini slices into the egg whites, then dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the zucchini on middle rack of oven for 5 minutes.

Using a spatula, flip the slices over. Continue baking until browned and crispy, 5-10 minutes.

Check to see that chips are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping, if desired, and sprinkle with a little extra Parmesan if you like.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Maximum Crispiness 🌊
After slicing zucchini, pat each piece thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which prevents soggy chips and ensures a crunchier, crispier texture after baking.
Double-Coat Technique for Extra Crunch 🥚
Dip zucchini slices in egg whites, then breadcrumbs, then back into egg whites and breadcrumbs again for an ultra-crispy, restaurant-quality coating that won't fall off.
Use Panko for Superior Texture ✨
Substitute regular breadcrumbs with panko breadcrumbs mixed with your seasoned coating for lighter, airier, and significantly crispier chips with better structural integrity.
Arrange on Wire Racks 📍
Place zucchini chips on a wire rack set over your baking sheet instead of directly on the sheet, allowing air to circulate underneath for even crisping on all sides.
Increase Oven Temperature for Crispiness 🔥
Bake at 425°F instead of standard temperatures to achieve a golden, crispy exterior in just 10-12 minutes while keeping the interior tender and preventing moisture buildup.
