Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)

1/3 cup breadcrumbs (optional for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven: Preheat the oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Prepare the zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and slice them thinly. A mandoline slicer works great for achieving uniform thickness. Place the slices in a large bowl.

      Season the zucchini: Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini slices. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the slices. Toss until all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.

        Add cheese and breadcrumbs (if using): For added flavor and crunch, mix in the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Toss gently to combine.

          Arrange on baking sheets: Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap. This is crucial for achieving crispiness.

            Bake low and slow: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 2 hours, turning the slices halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning, as cooking times may vary based on thickness.

              Cool down: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the zucchini chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

                Serve and enjoy: Serve your crispy zucchini chips warm or store them in an airtight container for a crunchy snack later. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite dipping sauce!
