The result is a crispy, keto-friendly chip that’s gloriously guilt-free!

Since these zucchini chips store well, maintaining their crunchy goodness, they are the perfect recipe to cook ahead of time.

Vegans, vegetarians, and dairy-free friends can enjoy these chips as they are suitable for a range of dietary requirements.

Zucchini Chips Ingredients

Zucchini: Raw zucchini has a slightly bitter taste, but when cooked, it becomes sweet and soft with a mild flavor. Similar to cucumber, zucchini is a vegetable packed full of water, which isn’t the best news for creating crunchy chips. Patting down the slices of zucchini before putting them into the oven is key to achieving ultimate crunchiness with every single keto chip.

Olive Oil: Many different oils can be used for our keto zucchini chips, from coconut to avocado, but we like the subtlety of olive oil. Only a couple of tablespoons are needed to coat the zucchini, and since the chips are baked at a high temperature, there’s no need to go fancy and use extra virgin olive oil; standard olive oil works just fine.

Sea Salt: Salt is an optional ingredient for our crunchy keto snack, but lightly tossing the cooked chips in sea salt enhances their flavor tremendously. Since the grains of sea salt are larger than standard table salt, the chips become even crunchier, and taste buds come alive!

How To Make Keto Zucchini Chips

Making these crunchy zucchini chips is a breeze. With two store cupboard ingredients and standard kitchen equipment, anyone can whip up these keto chips in just 5 minutes. There are only 61 calories per serving, and since these keto zucchini chips are also vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free, they cater to a range of dietary requirements.

Step one: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a large baking tray with baking paper. Use a little butter on each corner of the paper to help stick it down if it begins to fold up. If using an air fryer, preheat to 132°C (270°F) for a few minutes before cooking.

Step two: Lay a kitchen towel or paper towel flat on the countertop before slicing the zucchini as thinly as possible. Place each slice onto the kitchen or paper towel and gently pat the zucchini dry, removing any excess water.

Step three: Place the slices into a large bowl and toss the zucchini in the olive oil and a little sea salt until each piece is lusciously glossy on both sides.

Step four: Lay each slice of zucchini on the prepared baking sheet, making sure no pieces are overlapping each other. This guarantees each chip will cook evenly and become crispy, even on the edges!

Step five: Once the zucchini slices are laid out on the baking paper, pop the tray in the oven and cook the chips for an hour until they are crispy. If using an air fryer, cook the zucchini chips for 15 minutes, checking them at the 10-minute mark. Adding another sprinkling of salt over the chips when they’re fresh out of the oven makes for an extra finger-licking good keto snack!

Tips And Variations

Cheesy Keto Zucchini Chips: All that’s needed to transform these zucchini chips into cheesy chips is a grating of hard cheese! Fresh parmesan is a great choice as the salt counteracts the sweet zucchini, and the cheese becomes golden and crunchy, adding even more texture to the chips. Simply grate some hard cheese over the slices of zucchini and watch them become lightly browned on the edges with the addition of the cheese
