Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the zucchini into paper-thin rounds (approximately 1/16-inch thick). (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Arrange the zucchini slices on a clean work surface (such as a cutting board lined with paper towels) and sprinkle generously with salt. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. (10 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Thoroughly pat the zucchini slices dry with paper towels. The drier they are, the crispier they will become. (5 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). (10 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

In a large bowl, gently toss the zucchini slices with the olive oil until they are lightly coated. (2 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and ranch dressing mix to the bowl. Gently toss again to ensure that the zucchini slices are evenly coated with the cheese and ranch mixture. (2 minutes)

07

Step
10 mins

Spray two large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure that none of the slices are overlapping. This is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness. (10 minutes)

08

Step
1 hrs 10 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Carefully flip each zucchini slice with a spatula and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven. (70 minutes)

09

Step
5 mins

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and transfer the zucchini chips to a paper towel-lined plate to cool completely. This will help to remove any excess oil and ensure that they remain crispy. (5 minutes)

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the ranch dressing mix.
If you don't have ranch dressing mix, you can use a combination of dried dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
Store leftover zucchini chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They may lose some of their crispness over time.

    I was skeptical at first, but these zucchini chips are seriously addictive! I'll definitely be making them again.

  • Madisyn Kuhn

    The key is to get the zucchini slices as thin and dry as possible. Mine weren't quite crispy enough the first time, but I'll try again.

  • Arthur Deckow

    These were amazing! My kids loved them, and I didn't feel guilty letting them have seconds.
