These deliciously crispy zucchini parmesan chips are perfect for a side dish, appetizer, or snack. The blend of seasonings with thin slices of zucchini delivers delightful flavor, and you’ll love the crunch.

Oven-Baked

Cooking this in the oven on a high temperature adds a crispness to the exterior while keeping the inside succulent and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

You only need a few ingredients to make this wonderful dish. In fact, some of the items are probably already in your pantry.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for zucchini with parmesan:

• Zucchini
• Grated parmesan cheese
• Olive oil
• Seasoned salt
• Black pepper

You can add other spices if you want, like Italian seasoning. If I want something with a little kick, I sprinkle some cayenne over the top.

Another thing you might want to do to add even more crunch is add bread crumbs. I don’t do that because I can’t have the gluten. Plus I don’t think it’s necessary.

Directions

First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Then spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. 

Cut the zucchini into approximately 1/2” slices. Or if you want zucchini parmesan fries, you can cut them lengthwise to make zucchini spears.

Next, place the zucchini slices or sticks in a large or medium bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them and stir until the zucchini is completely covered in oil.

Now dip each of the slices in the parmesan cheese. You can add garlic powder and fresh herbs if you want, but I don’t think they need it. Press the cheese into each piece of zucchini to make sure it sticks. Coat both sides.

Then place the slices or sticks on the baking sheet in a single layer. The edges can touch as long as they don’t overlap.

Sprinkle the seasoned salt over the top. Now sprinkle pepper over all of them. I tend to go a little heavier on the pepper.

Place the zucchini in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown. You can flip them for the last 5 minutes, but I don’t. I think the best way to get the crispness you want is to leave them alone and let the oven do most of the work.

Serve hot to get the most of their amazing flavor. If you like to dip, try this yummy Baja sauce or this creamy buttermilk ranch dressing. They’re even good dipped in this delicious McDonald’s signature sauce.

Great for Backyard or Patio Garden

Zucchini is easy to grow in a small space or container. They have large root systems, so if you grown it in a container, make sure it’s deep enough to handle the roots.

You can start with seeds or purchase seedlings that have already sprouted. Make sure you provide plenty of water and sun, and you should have all the zucchini you can eat.

Great Side Dish

If you’re a fan of zucchini, you’ll love this. But even if you don’t care for it cooked other ways, you might still enjoy this recipe because it’s packed with so many different flavors.

These zucchini parmesan chips are delicious when dipped in marinara sauce. Or just use your favorite dipping sauce.

All meals are even better with a veggie side. With this delicious recipe, you don’t have to sacrifice great flavor.
