These easy, cheesy baked zucchini chips are perfect for dinner or as an afternoon snack. The ingredients are kept to a minimum and can be switched up based on what you have in the kitchen. In our recipe below, we use fresh basil, but other fresh herbs work, too. We particularly love dill. The cheese can be swapped out, too. Sharp cheddar or other hard cheeses work well.
2 medium zucchini, about 1 pound
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup (28g) grated parmesan cheese, 1 ounce
1/3 cup (38g) panko breadcrumbs or homemade breadcrumbs
1/4 cup (15g) packed fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Toss with the olive oil until well coated.
3Stir the parmesan, breadcrumbs, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
4Place each zucchini round into the Parmesan mixture and press the coating onto both sides.
5Arrange zucchini chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until browned and the coating is crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.
