Baked Zucchini Chips (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 2 medium-sized zucchini (around 1 pound total)
02 - Nonstick olive oil spray

→ Seasonings

03 - Grated parmesan cheese (1/4 cup, finely ground)
04 - Ground black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
05 - Garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon)
06 - Coarse kosher salt (3/4 teaspoon, split)

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 425°F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper that's safe for high temperatures, then mist it with olive oil spray.
02 - Cut zucchini into thin 1/8-inch slices. Place them in a colander, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and let them sit for 30 minutes.
03 - Rinse the salted zucchini well. Pat them completely dry with paper towels so there’s no moisture left.
04 - Lay zucchini slices in one layer on the baking sheet, spray their tops with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes.
05 - Take the zucchini out of the oven. Without flipping them, sprinkle on the rest of the salt, some garlic powder, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.
06 - Put the zucchini back in for another 15–20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and take out the slices as they crisp up and turn golden.

# Notes:

01 - Salting is key to getting them crispy, so don’t skip it!
02 - Ovens can vary, so start checking after 10 minutes and adjust the timing if needed.
03 - Take chips out as soon as they’re ready since they won’t finish at the same time.
04 - Store extras for 2–3 days, though they’ll soften. Reheat them at 350°F for about 10 minutes to get crisp again.
