Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips – Home Cooking Adventure

These Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips are a delightful and healthy appetizer or snack option, perfect for satisfying your crunchy cravings. Enjoy these zucchini chips on their own, or pair them with your favorite dip for an extra treat. They are a delicious way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet without compromising on flavor or texture.

These chips begin with fresh zucchini, sliced into thin rounds to ensure an even, crispy texture. Each slice is first dredged in flour, which helps the next layers adhere better, creating a perfect base for that extra crunch. Following the flour coating, the zucchini slices are dipped into beaten eggs and then coated into a breadcrumb and cornmeal mixture.

The combination of breadcrumbs and cornmeal is enhanced with a touch of oregano and a pinch of salt, adding a burst of flavor and a satisfying crunch with every bite. Once the zucchini slices are thoroughly coated, they are arranged in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring even cooking.

Baking these chips in the oven not only makes them healthier than their fried counterparts but also allows the zucchini to cook through while the exterior becomes perfectly golden and crispy.

Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips with Tzatziki Sauce

How to make crispy baked zucchini chips

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with oil and set it aside. Next, cut the zucchini into ¼ inch (6mm) thick rounds and sprinkle them with salt. Allow the slices to sit for 5 minutes to draw out moisture.

In the meantime, beat the eggs in a deep plate. Prepare another plate with flour, and a third plate with a mixture of breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt, and oregano.

Take each zucchini slice, dredge it in flour, dip it into the beaten egg, and coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with olive oil and bake for 17-20 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serve immediately with Greek Tzatziki Sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Hope you will try these amazing baked zucchini chips. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how they turned out for you. Enjoy!
