Provided by Vered DeLeeuw

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Olive oil spray
2 medium zucchini (about 1 lb. total weight)
1 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (divided (not fine salt))
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup dry-grated Parmesan ((not shredded))

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper and coat it with olive oil spray.
  • Slice the zucchini into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Sprinkle the slices with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Place the salted zucchini in a colander in the sink and let them stand for 30 minutes at room temperature. This should draw some of the water out. After 30 minutes, rinse and blot dry the zucchini slices using paper towels.
  • Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with olive oil. Bake them for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the zucchini slices with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan.
  • Return the pan to the oven and continue baking until the zucchini slices are browned and crisp, 15-20 more minutes.

ZUCCHINI CHEESE CRISPS



Zucchini Cheese Crisps image

These 2-Ingredient Zucchini Cheese Crisps are an absolutely delicious appetizer. A Keto-friendly crispy delight everybody will love!

Provided by Lorena Grater

Categories     Appetizer

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup hard but melty cheese (gruyere, cheddar, parmesan, swiss or a mix of these)

Steps:

  • Place a cheesecloth in a bowl and grate the zucchini into it. Then press all the liquid out of the zucchini. Be thorough. The drier the zucchini, the crispier your cheese crisps.
  • Grate the cheese and mix well with the zucchini.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form little humps of about 1 Tbsp of zucchini cheese mix leaving plenty of space in between humps so the cheese can spread.
  • Place the baking sheet in the top third of the oven under the broiler on low and constantly keep an eye on them.
  • Once the edges turn brown, remove the baking sheet from the oven and lift the crisps off the sheet by pulling up the parchment paper and placing it on a cooling rack.
  • Let the crisps cool for a couple of minutes, then remove from the parchment paper and place on a paper-towel-lined plate so it can absorb the excess fat and become even crispier.
