Ingredients:

1 Zucchini
Canola Cooking Spray
Seasoned Salt or Other Seasonings of Your Choice

Instructions:

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:

Preheat your oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil, then lightly spray with canola oil. Set aside.

Slice Zucchini:

Using a knife or mandoline slicer, slice the zucchini into thin medallions, aiming for a thickness similar to that of a quarter.

Arrange Zucchini Slices:

Lay out the zucchini slices evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with additional cooking spray.

Season Zucchini:

Sprinkle the zucchini slices with seasoned salt or your choice of seasonings. Be cautious not to over-season, as the flavors will concentrate during baking.

Bake Zucchini Chips:

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Afterward, rotate the baking sheet and continue baking for an additional 30-50 minutes, or until the chips are browned and crisped to your liking.

Serve and Enjoy:

Once baked, remove the zucchini chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Enjoy them fresh from the oven as they are best eaten within a couple of hours to maintain their crispiness. One zucchini typically yields one serving, approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup of chips depending on the size of your squash.

Note:

These zucchini chips are a delicious and healthy snack option, perfect for satisfying your cravings without derailing your diet goals. Experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite flavor combination!
