These crispy baked Parmesan zucchini chips are the perfect healthy snack, offering a satisfying crunch with a salty, cheesy kick. Made with simple ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes, they’re a crowd-pleaser that’s both indulgent and smart.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini (about 8–10 ounces each)
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
  2. Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly. Trim off the ends, then slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat the slices dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, mix the grated Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Working one slice at a time, dredge the zucchini in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, letting excess drip off. Press into the Parmesan-panko mixture, coating both sides. Place on the wire rack. Repeat with all slices, leaving space between each.
  5. Lightly spray the breaded zucchini slices with olive oil.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Check after 12 minutes to prevent burning.
  7. Let the chips cool on the wire rack for 3-5 minutes to set and become crispier.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

For maximum crispiness, use a wire rack on the baking sheet. Pat zucchini slices dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture. Do not overcrowd the rack. Watch the oven closely after 12 minutes to avoid burning. Season strategically since Parmesan is salty.
