Baked Zucchini Chips
Description
This recipe involves slicing medium zucchini into quarter-inch rounds, dipping them first in beaten egg, then coating with a seasoned mixture of panko breadcrumbs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. After coating, the chips are drizzled with olive oil and baked at 425°F until crisp and golden, flipping once in the middle of baking to ensure even crisping.
The result is a crunchy exterior with a tender vegetable center, giving the chips a satisfying texture and flavor. They can be served immediately to retain crispiness, accompanied by dipping sauces such as tzatziki, marina, or romesco for additional flavor layers.
For those avoiding animal products, the recipe notes a vegan substitution by replacing the egg with a flaxseed and nut milk mixture, which helps the coating adhere and adds moisture.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese or vegan Parmesan
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- black pepper freshly ground
- 2 zucchini sliced into ¼ inch rounds, medium
- extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
- romesco sauce optional for serving
- tzatziki sauce
- marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg. In a medium bowl, combine the panko, almond flour, Parmesan, salt, and several grinds of pepper.
- Dip the zucchini slices into the egg and then into the panko mixture. Place onto the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake 17 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
- Serve immediately while they're still hot (they’ll become less crispy as they sit). Serve with a dipping sauce, if desired.
Notes
- To make vegan, replace the egg with ¼ cup nut milk combined with 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed.
- Serve baked zucchini chips immediately to maintain crispness; they become softer as they cool.
- Pair with dips such as romesco, tzatziki, or marinara for added flavor.
