Description

Discover the ultimate recipe for making the best crunchy zucchini chips at home. Learn the secrets to achieving that perfect crispy texture in every bite!


Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (2g)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (2g)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (2g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (0.5g)
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs (60g)
  • 1/4 cup grated alternative cheese (25g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons alternative milk (30ml)
  • Cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  3. Slice the zucchini into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
  4. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  5. In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. In a third bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
  7. Dip each zucchini slice into the flour mixture, coating both sides.
  8. Next, dip the floured zucchini slice into the egg mixture.
  9. Finally, press the zucchini slice into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring an even coat.
  10. Place the coated zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  11. Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini slices with cooking spray.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Remove the zucchini chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose for added fiber.
  • Experiment with seasonings like cayenne pepper or Italian herbs for customizing flavors.
  • Swap alternative cheese for nutritional yeast for a dairy-free, vegan-friendly option.
