Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for an added indulgence)

Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) for garnish (optional, but recommended)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 225°F (110°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup and prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Rinse the zucchinis under cold water and pat them dry with a towel. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the zucchinis into thin slices, aiming for about 1/8 inch in thickness. Consistent thickness is important for even cooking and crispness.

      Mix the Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir vigorously until all the spices are well blended into the oil, creating a flavorful coating for the zucchini.

        Coat the Zucchini: Carefully add the zucchini slices to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Gently toss the slices until they are entirely coated with the oil and spices. If using Parmesan cheese for added flavor, sprinkle it in now and toss again to ensure an even distribution.

          Arrange the Slices: Lay the seasoned zucchini slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure that the slices do not overlap; this step is crucial to achieve the desired crispiness.

            Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 2 hours, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through baking, flip the slices over to promote even cooking.

              Cool and Crisp: Once the chips are finished baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. As they cool, the chips will continue to harden and reach the perfect crunch.

                Garnish and Serve: Before serving, elevate the dish by sprinkling freshly chopped herbs over the chips for added aroma and color. These delightful zucchini chips make for a nutritious snack or a fantastic appetizer to share with guests!
