Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick)
- Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Juice from 2 limes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Slice the Zucchini – Wash the zucchini, pat dry, and slice them into thin, even rounds using a mandoline slicer for best results.
- Prepare the Seasoning – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and chili powder.
- Coat the Zucchini – Toss the zucchini slices in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheets – Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap for even baking. Lightly spray with olive oil spray.
- Bake the Chips – Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, flipping the chips halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
- Cool Completely – Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the baking sheets. They will crisp up further as they cool.
- Serve and Enjoy – Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, bake at a low temperature and allow chips to cool completely before storing.
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices, which helps with even crisping.
- Customize flavors by adding smoked paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne for extra heat.
