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
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • paprika
  • garlic powder

Both paprika and garlic powder are optional spices, this Parmesan baked zucchini chips will taste amazing if seasoned with just salt and pepper.

How to make baked parmesan zucchini chips?

  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.

Bake seasoned and Parmesan topped zucchini chips at 375 F for 15-17 minutes, until golden on top. Baking time may vary depending on the type of oven, pan and thickness of the zucchini rounds.

How to serve this crunchy zucchini chips?

It tastes great in its own, since the Parmesan cheese on top adds an amazing flavor. A dipping sauce like Tzatziki or this Napoli Sauce from Texanerin (great on Pasta!) could be nice dipping options.

  1. These are fantastic! After reading the reviews, we decided to broil on high for 4 mins, turned, and 4 mins on the other side. Crispy and wonderful!

    1. About to make these, but how do you store them? Do I have to refrigerate them or keep them out like chips?

      1. Hi, you can’t really store them. Make them and eat right away. Don’t refrigerate. you can place in zip lock bag, but I can not promise they are going to stay crispy.

  2. Tasted great! I cooked them at least 15 minutes longer & partway through I used the convection heat —- helped to dry them out more.
    Next time I think I will partly use my dehydrator—- for a bit to dry them out a bit.
    I would cut down on the olive oil.
    I left them in the oven after the heat was turned off. Helps to dry them out more.
    But they were TASTY.

  3. These were delicious!  Thanks for sharing the recipe.  I too, used the broiler for a few minutes and that really helped crisp them up.  

  4. ………ssooo disappointed!! Emphasis was on “CRISPY”……ssooo how do you get the CRISPY??? ……Love the flavor, just want the CRISPY!!!  🤗🤗
