Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Homemade Keto Zucchini Crispy Chips that are crunchy, low-carb, and full of flavor:
Homemade Keto Zucchini Crispy Chips
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor and crunch)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). This low heat will help the zucchini chips dry out and become crispy without burning.
-
Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash and dry the zucchini.
- Cut off the ends of the zucchini and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. A mandoline slicer can help achieve uniform slices.
-
Remove Excess Moisture:
- Lay the zucchini slices on a paper towel and gently pat them dry to remove any excess moisture. This step helps to get them extra crispy.
-
Season the Zucchini:
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each slice is coated evenly.
-
Arrange on a Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overlapping the slices to ensure even crispiness.
-
Bake the Zucchini Chips:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping the zucchini slices halfway through. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Bake until the chips are golden and crispy.
-
Optional: Add Parmesan:
- If you’d like a cheesy flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chips during the last 10 minutes of baking.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet, as they’ll continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a few days.
