A keto-friendly, crispy baked zucchini snack coated with almond flour and parmesan cheese, perfect for a quick and healthy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis (about 14 oz), sliced into 1/8 inch (3 mm) rounds
  • 1/2 cup (50g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Olive oil spray (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, keeping slices uniform for even baking.
  3. In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  4. Beat one large egg in a separate bowl until smooth.
  5. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour and parmesan mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.
  6. Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch.
  7. Lightly spray the tops of the slices with olive oil spray if using.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through (around 8-10 minutes). Watch closely in the last 5 minutes to avoid burning; chips should be golden and crispy.
  9. Remove from oven and transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool slightly and maintain crispness.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra crispiness, bake a bit longer or broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully. Use thin, uniform slices for best results. Olive oil spray helps browning without excess grease. Store cooled chips in an airtight container with paper towels in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in oven or toaster oven to regain crispness. Avoid microwaving.
