Baked Zucchini Chips

These easy Baked Zucchini Chips are a healthy alternative to high carbohydrate chips and perfect for the keto diet and those watching their carb count.   I love to serve these at parties with Herb Cream Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes and Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms.

These fun zucchini Keto-friendly chips are crisp, tasty, and easy to make. They require time and patience as they cook low and slow for a couple of hours.  I like to serve them with ranch, Southern Comeback Sauce, and Honey Mustard Sauce as a dipping sauce. Please keep in mind that the honey mustard sauce is not on the Keto plan.

How do you make Zucchini Chips?

Start by cutting your zucchini slices about 1/8 inch thick.  Lay them in a single layer on parchment-covered baking sheets. Blot with paper towels several times to remove any excess moisture. Brush with a thin coat of olive oil.   Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, and, if desired, ground cayenne pepper.  Place in preheated oven and cook until golden brown and crispy.  Rotate the baking sheets every 30 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with a couple of tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan cheese.

Helpful tips for making Zucchini Chips

• A mandolin or food processor is helpful in cutting the chips into uniform thickness however it can still be done with a sharp knife.
• Place the chips on baking sheets that have been covered with aluminum foil or parchment paper, so they do not stick.
• Very little of each seasoning is needed because the dehydration process will really intensify the seasonings. Other seasonings to try include garlic powder and onion powder
• The drying process can take up to two hours in the oven, so plan accordingly.
• Check on the chips every thirty minutes and rotate the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back.
• To make air fryer zucchini chips, first preheat the air fryer to 325 degrees. Then lay the chips in a single layer in the air fryer. Air fry for about 10 minutes or until brown and crispy. Work in batches.
• Store the chips in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Seasoning Variations

• Cajun Seasoning
• Italian Seasoning
• Taco Seasoning
