Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup of almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Wash the zucchinis thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim off the ends and slice the zucchinis into thin rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for consistent thickness.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Place the sliced zucchinis in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss gently to coat the zucchini slices evenly with the oil.
  5. Working in batches, dredge the zucchini slices in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to each slice. Ensure that both sides of the zucchini slices are coated evenly.
  6. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
  7. Once all the zucchini slices are coated and arranged on the baking sheet, transfer the sheet to the preheated oven.
  8. Bake the zucchini chips for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are golden brown and crispy, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the baking time for even cooking.
  9. Keep an eye on the zucchini chips towards the end of the baking time to prevent them from over-browning or burning.
  10. Once the zucchini chips are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
  11. Transfer the crispy zucchini chips to a wire rack to cool completely and allow any excess moisture to evaporate, ensuring maximum crispiness.
  12. Once cooled, serve the zucchini chips immediately as a delicious snack or accompaniment to your favorite dips or spreads.
