Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 225°F (107°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the Zucchini – Use a mandoline slicer or sharp knife to cut the zucchini into thin, even slices (about 1/8-inch thick).
- Remove Moisture – Lay the slices on a paper towel and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Prepare Garlic Butter – In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Coat the Zucchini – Toss the zucchini slices in the garlic butter mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet – Place slices in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan – Generously top each slice with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake Slowly – Bake for 2 hours, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve – Let the chips cool slightly, then garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a wire rack on the baking sheet to allow air circulation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Avoid microwaving for reheating—use an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Try different cheeses like Pecorino Romano or aged Asiago for a new twist.
