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)

Moisture Removal Technique 💦
Before coating, slice zucchini extremely thin and pat dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy chips.
Seasoning Layer Hack 🧂
Mix a pinch of garlic powder or Italian herbs into your breadcrumbs for an extra flavor boost that elevates the entire chip.
Baking Surface Strategy 🥘
Use a wire rack on top of your baking sheet to allow air circulation, which helps chips crisp evenly on all sides without flipping.
Uniform Coating Trick 🥚
Use a pastry brush to apply egg whites more evenly and create a thinner, crispier coating compared to dipping.
Storage Preservation Method 🥒
Store leftover chips in an airtight container with a silica gel packet to maintain crispness for up to 2 days.
