Lightened Up Zucchini Chips Recipe

Lightened Up Zucchini Chips

I’ve been on a bit of a quest recently to find lightened up versions of my family’s favorite recipes. This zucchini chips recipe is my latest accomplishment. There was a time when the Fry Daddy was put to good use in my house, but I have since learned that I can achieve the same crispness and flavors with a few tricks and a hot oven. Baking these zucchini chips on a wire rack in the oven exposes all sides to the oven’s heat, resulting in a crisp chip. Like with most foods, my grandchildren like to dip these zucchini chips in ranch dressing. However, I prefer them straight from the oven.

I tore this recipe from an old Cooking Light magazine. I’m not sure which issue it came from, but it’s most likely from around 10 years ago. I have bins full of recipes that I’ve torn from the pages of magazines over the last 20 or so years. It’s so much fun to dig through them every once in a while and uncover a hidden treasure, like these baked zucchini chips.

Baking the zucchini slices on a wire rack exposes all sides to the oven's heat, resulting in a crisp chip. These oven baked zucchini chips are just as crisp and flavorful as the fried variety.

  • Mmmm….I havent eaten this since last summer. They are so good. Thanks for your recipe on them- I will surely try it too

  • I will definitely be making a vegan version this summer. It’s hard for me to pay 2 – 3 dollars a pound for zucchini this time of year.

    I never tried baking on a wire rack, but it makes sense tht the heat can attack on all sides that way. Thanks for the tip.
    These zucchini chips will be much healthier this way
