Ingredients and Variations

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for grilled zucchini slices, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

Basic Zucchini Slices:

• zucchini – Use small to medium zucchini. Larger zucchini will produce larger chips, but they will take longer to dry out.
• olive oil – I prefer extra virgin olive oil for crispy zucchini slices, but any neutral oil, like avocado oil, will do.
• sea ​​salt – or kosher salt. Check out more seasoning ideas below!

6 other flavor ideas:

• Parmesan Zucchini Slices – Substitute 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for the salt.
• truffle – Substitute with sea salt truffle salt.
• salt and vinegar – Add a tablespoon of vinegar (cider, red wine, or white vinegar) and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper to the raw zucchini before stirring and roasting.
• Cool Ranch – add another tablespoon of zucchini Homemade Ranch Seasoning (or store bought).
• curry – In addition to the salt in the recipe, use 1/4 – 1/2 tsp curry powder.
• custom – Feel free to use your own flavour combinations, e.g. Italian seasoninggarlic powder, or any spice you like.

How to Make Zucchini Slices in the Oven

This section shows how to make oven-roasted zucchini slices, with step-by-step photos and details on the technique. See the recipe card below for full instructions.

1. Preheat. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack and line it with parchment paper. (If you grease the rack, you can try skipping the parchment paper, but they stick easily.)
2. piece. use one mandolin Slice the zucchini into 1/8-inch thick slices (or thinner). Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3. coat. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini with the olive oil. (Alternatively, you can simply lightly spray with cooking spray.) Sprinkle with salt and toss again.

4. arrange. Place zucchini slices on the grill in a single layer, making sure not to overlap.
5. bake. Cook the zucchini slices in the oven, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the chips are golden, wrinkled, and golden brown. If there is moisture on the zucchini but it is already golden, pat dry with a paper towel.
6. crispy. Turn off the oven and leave the door slightly open to allow it to crisp. (If it doesn’t crisp after cooling, you can bake it longer.)

How long do you bake zucchini slices?

Chips made with zucchini require a low speed bake to dehydrate: bake in a 200°F oven for 2 1/2 hours, or until golden and beginning to crisp. The extra time in the oven off the heat will make them perfectly crispy.

Tips for the Best Zucchini Slices

• Thin and even slices are very important. If they’re too thick, your chips won’t get crispy, and if they’re different thicknesses, they’ll cook at different speeds.
• Lighten the seasoning. Zucchini shrinks a lot in the oven, so the seasoning (and salt) will be more concentrated when done.
• Check them as oven times may vary. Cooking time depends on your oven, the thickness of the zucchini, and even your skillet.
• The chips can be removed from the oven at different times if desired. If some of your fries are starting to brown while others are not done, you can remove the already baked fries and continue to bake the rest.

Alternative cooking methods

It’s easy to make zucchini slices oven-friendly, but what about other cooking methods? Try the following alternatives:

• Dehydrator – For dehydrated zucchini slices, prepare as per recipe, dehydrate for about 8 hours instead of baking. One advantage of this is that the chips don’t turn brown.
• Convection thermostatic oven – Follow the same recipe above, but check chips after 1 1/2 hours and every 15-20 minutes thereafter. Time will vary depending on your oven.
• Air fryer – If you like air frying, try it Air Fryer Zucchini Slices instead. This is actually my favorite method because it gets the most crispy!

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, these chips will keep for up to 2-3 weeks in an airtight container in the pantry. I haven’t tried freezing them, but most likely they will lose their crunch.

Tip: If your zucchini slices start to soften during storage, you can fry them again to crisp.

Return the chips to the 200°F oven to dry for about 10 minutes, then let them cool on the counter until crisp.

1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).

2. use one mandolin Slice the zucchini into 1/8-inch (0.3 cm) thick slices. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

3. Add the olive oil, toss to coat, and coat the zucchini slices. Sprinkle lightly with salt (you’ll need less than you might think – the slices will shrink during baking, making for a richer flavor). Then toss to the coat.

4. place Oven-safe grill on top of two cookie sheets, then place them on top with parchment paper. (The cooling rack method allows for better air circulation.) Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer. It’s okay if they touch, but make sure they don’t overlap.

5. bake about 2 1/2 hours, rotate the pan halfway through. The zucchini slices are done when they are wrinkled and golden brown. If there is moisture on the zucchini but it is already golden, pat dry with a paper towel.

6. Let the chips cool in the oven, turn off the heat, and open the door slightly (they will be more crispy as they cool).
