I’m a huge fan of zucchini, but lately I haven’t been cooking with it as I used to. Trying to rescue these zucchini that have been sitting in my fridge for days, I decided to make this Easy Baked Zucchini Chips with Parmesan.

Since zucchini is 95 % water and relatively low in carbs (1 medium zucchini has 6 grams of carbs and 2 grams of dietary fiber) it is a great vegetable for the low-carb, Keto diet. It cooks fast and can be used in desserts, salads, pastas, soups and main dishes. And last but not least healthy snacks like this low carb zucchini chips.

What ingredients do you need to make this Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips?

  • zucchini
  • olive oil
  • Parmesan cheese

  • paprika
  • garlic powder

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. Wash the zucchini, peel if you’d like (I prefer unpeeled zucchini for this recipe).
  3. Cut zucchini into 5 mm thick rounds. You can use a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife to cut them.
  4. In a bowl combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and olive oil.
  5. Add the zucchini rounds and toss to evenly coat in seasoning.
  6. Prepare two cookie baking sheets.
  7. You can cover the baking sheets with parchment paper, aluminum foil or just spray generously with cooking spray, so they don’t stick. Line zucchini rounds on 2 baking sheets.
  8. Top zucchini with Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
