Deliciously crispy zucchini chips made by coating zucchini slices in a flavorful almond meal and vegan Parmesan mixture, then baking or air frying until golden brown. A healthy, grain-free snack or appetizer perfect for a light bite or dipping.

Ingredients

Zucchini

  • 2 medium zucchini

Breading

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1/4 cup grated Vegan Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup crushed grain-free crackers (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease or line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cut the Zucchini: Wash the zucchini thoroughly. Cut each zucchini into rounds approximately 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  3. Prepare the Breading: Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the almond meal, grated Vegan Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, dried Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. For extra crispy chips, you may also add crushed grain-free crackers like Simple Mills Fine Ground Sea Salt Almond Flour Crackers.
  4. Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini round into the beaten egg, then dredge it thoroughly in the almond meal and Parmesan mixture, making sure all sides are well coated. Place each coated zucchini slice on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even crisping.
  5. Bake the Zucchini Chips: Bake the zucchini slices in the preheated oven for 21-24 minutes. Flip them halfway through baking to allow both sides to turn golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve: Remove the zucchini chips from the oven and serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce for a tasty, healthy snack.
  7. Optional Air Fryer Method: To make zucchini chips in an air fryer, place the breaded zucchini rounds in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking until the chips are golden and crispy.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, crush grain-free crackers or pork rinds can be added to the breading mixture.
  • Make sure to space zucchini slices apart in the baking sheet or air fryer basket for even cooking.
  • These chips are best eaten fresh for optimal crispness.
  • Vegan Parmesan can be substituted with nutritional yeast if preferred.
  • Adjust seasoning amounts to taste, particularly the garlic salt and smoked paprika.
