Zucchini Chips

My favorite way to eat zucchinis is as chips! Here are two different ways to cook them: in the oven (see photo above) and in the microwave (see below). The oven version will take longer to cook, but you will get crispier chips. On the other side, the microwave version is way quicker. I can assure you that either way, these chips will not last long on the table!

Servings: 2 to 3

Cooking time: 15 minutes to 2 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini squash, thinly sliced (with a knife or a mandolin)
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

In the oven

  1. Preheat the oven to 200F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients and gently toss.
  3. Line up the zucchinis slices on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overlap them.
  4. Bake for 1 hour and turn the slices over. Keep baking for another 30-45 minutes or until the zucchinis chips are crispy.

In the microwave

  1. In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients and gently toss.
  2. Line up the zucchini slices on a large microwave-safe plate, making sure not to overlap them. Place about 15 slices at a time for quicker cooking.
  3. Microwave for about 4 to 7 minutes or until the slices are crisps. Cooking time will depend on the number of zucchinis on the plate and the power of the microwave. Repeat for the rest of the zucchini slices.

Tip

For both cooking methods, the cooking time can vary a lot depending on the thickness of the slices. I recommend cooking until the chips are crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning, especially around the end of the cooking time.
