Ingredients

  • Sliced medium zucchini
  • A pinch of salt to suit your taste
  • Two teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil
  • A tablespoon of ranch dressing mix (like Hidden Valley Ranch®)
  • A teaspoon of freeze-dried dill
  • A spritz of cooking spray

Step 1

Transforming zucchini into delicate, paper-thin rounds with a mandoline is the first step in crafting this delightful recipe. Before embarking on this culinary journey, sprinkle the slices with a touch of salt and allow them to rest for a brief 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. A gentle pat-down with a paper towel helps to further enhance their texture.

Step 2

As the oven preheats to a gentle 220 degrees F (105 degrees C), it's time to infuse the zucchini chips with flavor. Toss the slices in a generous drizzle of olive oil, followed by a seasoning of ranch powder and fragrant dill. Each chip should be lovingly coated to ensure a harmonious blend of flavors.

Step 3

Preparing the baking sheets with a spritz of nonstick cooking spray sets the stage for the zucchini slices to shine. Carefully arrange them in a single layer, ensuring they have ample space to crisp up evenly without overlapping.

Step 4

As the zucchini slices dance in the oven's warm embrace, allow them to bake for a total of 40 minutes, taking a moment to flip them halfway through. This process continues for an additional 30 minutes or until the desired level of crispiness is achieved. Once they reach culinary perfection, transfer the chips to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil, ready to be enjoyed.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. To keep your zucchini fresh and crispy, store them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Make sure to use a perforated plastic bag or a container with ventilation to prevent excess moisture buildup.
  3. 2. Before slicing your zucchini into chips, pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will help the chips crisp up nicely in the oven.
