CRISPY ZUCCHINI CHIPS WITH PARMESAN
Steps:
- Pour a couple inches of oil into a large, shallow, heavy gauge or cast-iron pot. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees F.
- Place the flour into a shallow, medium container. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, oregano, thyme and granulated garlic in another shallow, medium container. To a third shallow container, add the panko crumbs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Working in batches, dredge the the zucchini in the flour, patting off the excess. Next, dip into the buttermilk mixture. Moisten completely, and allow the excess liquid to drip away. Place the zucchini into the panko crumbs and coat evenly. As you work, lay the zucchini chips onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once the oil is ready, fry the zucchini chips in batches, until they are a crispy golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fried zucchini to paper-towel-lined dish and drain.
- Serve the crispy zucchini on a platter immediately. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, and serve with Roasted Garlic Aioli and lemon wedges
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Take the whole heads of garlic and cut the tops off to expose the garlic cloves. Place on a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap up the foil into a tight pouch, and then place in the oven and roast for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Squeeze the pulp from the skins (you'll need 1/3 cup).
- In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce and some salt and pepper. Pulse until well combined. Refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld together. Garnish with parsley.
LOW-CARB ZUCCHINI CHIPS
If you are looking for an alternative to potato chips you have to give zucchini chips a try as a clean and healthy snack. Zucchini chips taste amazing and they are low carb, paleo and gluten free. They are simple to make but they do take time to bake. You could use a food dehydrator too if you have one (I don't).

OVEN BAKED ZUCCHINI CHIPS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine in a small mixing bowl, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Dip zucchini slices into milk and dredge into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Note: It may be necessary to press crumbs onto zucchini slices to ensure the crumbs stick. Arrange zucchini on a non-stick cookie sheet and lightly mist with a non-stick cooking spray. We use Misto Olive Oil Sprayer. Or, place zucchini on a wire rack sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. If using a rack, place rack on a cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes, turn over and continue baking until golden, approximately 10-15 minutes (being careful not to burn). Allow to cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container. NOTE: Zucchini Chips will continue to get crispier while cooling. NOTE: For gluten free chips, use gluten-free bread crumbs.
Tips:
- To make the crispiest zucchini chips, use a mandoline slicer to cut the zucchini into thin, even slices.
- Soak the zucchini slices in cold water for 30 minutes before baking. This will help to remove excess moisture and prevent the chips from becoming soggy.
- Toss the zucchini slices in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Bake the zucchini chips at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the zucchini chips immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Zucchini chips are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them plain or seasoned, baked or fried, zucchini chips are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, reach for a handful of zucchini chips. You won't be disappointed!
