Description

Golden, crispy rounds of zucchini coated in a flavorful Parmesan crust, paired with a creamy, tangy ranch dip for an irresistible snack.

Ingredients

Scale

2 medium-sized fresh zucchini, sliced into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Olive oil spray
Ranch dip (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack on top for extra crispiness.
Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice them into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick). Keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then press it into the Parmesan mixture, ensuring both sides are coated evenly.
Lay the coated zucchini chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack. Make sure they don’t overlap to ensure they get crispy.
Lightly spray the tops of the chips with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the chips bake, mix your ranch dip. If making homemade, combine Greek yogurt with ranch seasoning and a splash of lemon juice for extra zing.
Remove the zucchini chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them on a platter with the ranch dip on the side.

Notes

[‘Use fresh zucchini for better texture.’, ‘Elevate the chips on a wire rack for even crisping.’, ‘Season generously with your favorite spices for added flavor.’, ‘Avoid thick breading to prevent soggy chips.’, ‘Check chips regularly for crispiness while baking.’]
