These crispy low-carb zucchini parmesan chips are the perfect crunchy, salty, and cheesy snack. Made with simple ingredients and baked to golden perfection, they’re a guilt-free treat that satisfies cravings without the carbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini (about 8–10 ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil spray
  • Marinara sauce (for serving, optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Position the rack in the middle of the oven.
  2. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Trim off the ends, but don’t peel the zucchini.
  3. Place the slices in a colander set over a bowl or in the sink. Sprinkle with the teaspoon of salt and toss gently to coat. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes. Pat each slice dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  4. In a shallow bowl, combine the grated parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper. Stir with a fork to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  5. Working one at a time, press each slice into the parmesan mixture, coating both sides. Shake off any excess. Place the coated slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between each one.
  6. Spray lightly with olive oil.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then flip each chip carefully with a thin spatula and bake for another 5-8 minutes, until the second side is also golden and the edges are deeply browned.
  8. Transfer the chips to a cooling rack immediately. Let them cool completely (about 5 minutes) before serving.

Notes

Don’t skip the salting step—it’s crucial for crispiness. Grate your own cheese for best results. Watch the oven closely as temperatures vary. These chips are best enjoyed immediately. For dairy-free version, swap parmesan for 1/2 cup nutritional yeast mixed with 1/2 cup almond flour.
