Why I Keep Coming Back to These
I first made these on a lazy weekend when I wanted something to munch on during a movie night. One bite in, and I was hooked — that crispy Parmesan coating with tender zucchini inside is hard to beat. Now, I make them anytime I want something salty and crunchy without the carbs.
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
- Zucchini makes the perfect chip base — thin slices are the secret to crispiness.
- Parmesan cheese gives that irresistible crunch. You can swap in grated pecorino for a sharper flavor.
- Garlic powder and paprika add a warm, savory kick that keeps things interesting.
Cooking Tip Spotlight
Pat your zucchini slices dry before coating them. This one small step makes a huge difference in getting that golden, crispy texture every time.
