Prepare the zucchini: Begin by thoroughly washing the zucchini. Once clean, slice them thinly, aiming for a uniform thickness to ensure even crisping.

Season the zucchini: Place the sliced zucchini in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the fine salt and toss gently to ensure the zucchini slices are evenly coated. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to draw out excess moisture.
-
Coat the zucchini slices: In the same bowl, add the all-purpose flour. Toss the zucchini again, making sure the slices are lightly coated with flour. This will help give the chips a crunchy texture as they bake.
-
Prepare the baking tray: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the tray, taking care not to overlap them too much to ensure crispiness.
-
Drizzle with olive oil: Lightly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the zucchini slices, ensuring each piece gets a touch of oil for added crispness and flavor.
-
Bake to perfection: Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini chips are golden and crispy. You can flip them halfway through for an even crisp, but this is optional.
-
Garnish with oregano: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the crispy zucchini chips with oregano for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Serve and enjoy: Serve your crispy zucchini chips in cones or on a plate. These chips are perfect as a healthy appetizer or a light snack!
Tips:
- Storage: If you have any leftover chips, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness for a day or two.
- Add some heat: For a spicy kick, try sprinkling some chili flakes or paprika over the zucchini slices before baking.
- Serving suggestion: These zucchini chips pair wonderfully with a creamy dipping sauce, such as a tangy yogurt dip or a classic ranch.
Enjoy this crunchy, flavorful, and healthier alternative to regular chips with your family or friends!
