Looking for a healthy and delicious snack? Crispy baked zucchini chips with lemon aioli are the perfect choice! They are easy to make, full of flavor, and a great way to enjoy fresh zucchini.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- For the Lemon Aioli:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs.
Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the coated slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Spray lightly with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. While the chips are baking, prepare the lemon aioli by mixing mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Serve the zucchini chips warm with the refreshing lemon aioli on the side. Enjoy this healthy snack that’s perfect for any time of day!
Tips for Success
- Use a mandoline for even, thin slices of zucchini.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some paprika or Italian herbs on the breadcrumb mixture.
- Keep an eye on the chips while baking to prevent burning.
- Make the lemon aioli ahead of time for convenience.
