Easy Oven Baked Zucchini Chips

For these zucchini chips you will only need a handful of ingredients:

• Zucchini
• Flour, any kind (all-purpose, whole wheat and gluten free have all been tested)
• Eggs
• Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs (regular or gluten free)
• Parmesan Cheese
• Salt

Can I use panko breadcrumbs for this recipe? Yes however panko breadcrumbs don’t tend to stick as well and coat the zucchini chips completely. If you want to use panko breadcrumbs crush them up a little bit to help them stick better or use half panko and half regular breadcrumbs.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Slice zucchini into thin bite size slices.
3. Toss zucchini slices in whole wheat flour to coat evenly. Then, set aside the coated sliced zucchini.
4. Prepare the remaining steps for breading: In one bowl combine eggs and water. Stir to combine for egg wash. In a second bowl combine bread crumbs, cheese and salt. Stir to combine.
5. Bread the zucchini: Dip in egg wash then dip in bread crumb mixture.
6. Lay breaded zucchini in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until desired color and crispiness. Flip halfway through baking time.
8. Serve as desired and with your favorite dipping sauce.

The oven and air fryer are both options for this recipe. If you’re air fryer is on the smaller side and you don’t want to make multiple batches the oven may be a better choice. Cook at the same temperature in the air fryer but keep a close eye on the time- they will probably cook a little faster in the air fryer.

Zucchini chips should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat and make them crispy again, place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. Or, place them in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes.

Try your favorite dipping sauce! Ranch or spicy ranch dip is our favorite for these chips! Pasta sauce and other salad dressing also make good choices.

Yes! Use your favorite breading substitute for the eggs (olive oil, flax eggs, aquafaba, etc) and then use a vegan parmesan cheese replacement.

Absolutely, use gluten-free flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Of course! Go ahead and season them up with some garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt, ground black pepper and onion powder before using them.
