Ingredients

4servings

1 medium zucchini, sliced1 pinch salt to taste2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)1 teaspoon freeze-dried dill1 serving cooking spray

Instructions

Slice and Salt Zucchini

Start by slicing the zucchini into really thin rounds—about 1/16 inch thick works best. Lay them out on a clean surface and sprinkle with a little salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out some moisture, then pat them dry with paper towels as much as you can.

Season and Coat Zucchini

Next, preheat your oven to 220°F (105°C). Toss the zucchini slices in a big bowl with some olive oil until they’re nicely coated. Sprinkle in the ranch seasoning and dill, then give everything a gentle stir so the flavors stick to each chip.

Prepare baking sheets

Grab two large baking sheets and spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the sheets, making sure they aren’t touching or overlapping.

Bake and Flip Chips

Pop the trays in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. After that, carefully flip each slice over and bake for another 30 minutes, or until they’re as crispy as you like. When they’re done, transfer the chips to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil. Enjoy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These chips offer a crunchy, flavorful snack that’s light and satisfying. They are a great way to enjoy zucchini in a new form, packed with classic ranch seasoning that everyone loves. Perfect for a guilt-free treat or party appetizer.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these chips with a cool ranch or sour cream dip for extra flavor. They also pair well with fresh salsa or guacamole. Great as a snack on their own or alongside sandwiches and burgers.

Storage Tips

Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crisp. Avoid refrigerating, as moisture can make them soggy. Best eaten within 2 days for optimal crunch.
