Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, aiming for about 1/8 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini slices in a large bowl, tossing gently to coat each piece.
- One at a time, dip each zucchini slice into the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well.
- Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each chip for optimal crisping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before enjoying. The chips will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider experimenting with different spices like cayenne pepper for a kick or Italian seasoning for a herby twist.
- If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes into the coating mixture.
- Serve with a delicious dip, such as homemade guacamole or a creamy ranch dressing, to elevate the experience.
