Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips are a healthy and delicious snack made by coating fresh zucchini slices with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Greek yogurt, then baking them until perfectly crisp. This easy-to-make recipe offers a guilt-free alternative to traditional fried chips, combining the wholesome flavors of zucchini with a crunchy, cheesy coating.

Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini Chips

  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder and paprika for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Make the coating mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional spices like garlic powder or paprika for added flavor. Mix well.
  3. Coat the zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the Greek yogurt, ensuring it’s fully coated, then dredge it into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating evenly on both sides.
  4. Arrange for baking: Place the coated zucchini slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased wire rack to allow air circulation and promote crisping.
  5. Bake until crisp: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the zucchini chips for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool slightly to maintain crispiness. Serve as a healthy snack or a side dish with your favorite dip.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • Ensure zucchini slices are thoroughly dried before coating to prevent sogginess.
  • Flipping the chips halfway through baking is crucial for even cooking.
  • These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • To make it vegan, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative and Parmesan with a vegan cheese substitute.
