Paleo Zucchini Chips
So, you want chips but also want to “respect your temple” or whatever your yoga teacher said? Enter Paleo Zucchini Chips—the snack that lets you crunch without collapsing into a shame spiral. They’re salty, crispy, totally vegan, and best of all? They let you pretend zucchini is fun. Toss the greasy bag of regret and try these instead. These little circles of green wizardry somehow manage to be healthy, paleo-approved, and snackable without tasting like cardboard. Bake them, crisp them, inhale them—just don’t tell your inner potato chip addict it’s a vegetable in disguise.
Paleo Zucchini Chips
Paleo Zucchini Chips are crispy, oven-baked slices of seasoned zucchini that make the perfect guilt-free alternative to regular chips.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika optional, but highly recommended if you’re feeling spicy
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice zucchinis thin—like, therapy-session thin—using a knife or mandoline.
- Place slices on paper towels and press gently to remove excess moisture (don’t skip or you’ll get floppy sadness chips).
- In a bowl, toss zucchini slices with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if using.
- Spread slices in a single layer on the baking sheet—no overlap, they need personal space.
- Bake for about 2 hours, flipping halfway through.
- Let chips cool completely to crisp up.
- Try not to eat them all at once. (You will. It’s fine.)
