Keto Zucchini Chips Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the zucchinis and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even and consistent slices.
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a seasoned oil mixture.
- Add the zucchini slices to the bowl and toss them gently in the seasoned oil mixture, ensuring that each slice is coated evenly.
- Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping.
- Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the zucchini slices for added flavor.
- Bake the zucchini chips in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
- Once the chips are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up further.
- Serve the Keto Zucchini Chips as a tasty snack on their own or with your favorite dip.
