Crispy Zucchini Chips | Low Carb Vegetarian Recipes

Let’s be honest, we’ve all had that moment where a craving for something crunchy hits, and the chip bag seems like the only answer. I used to think the same, until I stumbled on zucchini chips. These aren’t just thin slices baked to a crisp—they’re a little kitchen miracle that fits perfectly into low carb vegetarian recipes. What I love most is how they deliver that salty crunch without leaving you feeling heavy. They slide seamlessly into low carb recipes, recipes low carb, or any recipe low carb setup you’ve got going on. And trust me, when you find low carb recipes easy and they taste this good, you hang on to them. Think of this as your answer to movie night snacks or that mid-afternoon munch when you don’t want to derail your goals. Easy low carb recipes don’t usually surprise me anymore, but these did. And once you try them, you’ll probably end up making an extra batch because they disappear fast.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Grated parmesan (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchinis thinly—about 1/8 inch works best for crisp chips.
  3. Pat slices dry with a paper towel to remove moisture.
  4. In a bowl, toss zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Don’t overlap.
  6. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden.
  7. Let them cool slightly before serving (they crisp up more as they cool).
