Ingredients
Scale
Zucchini Chips:
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup flour (for dredging)
- 1 large egg, beaten
Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Zucchini Chips:
- Place the zucchini slices on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then pat dry. This helps remove moisture for crispier chips.
- Set up a dredging station: place flour in one bowl, the beaten egg in another, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
- Coat Zucchini:
- Dredge each zucchini slice in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs lightly onto each slice for an even coating.
- Bake:
- Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Prepare the Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip:
- In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed, then adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve:
- Serve the crispy zucchini chips warm with the Greek yogurt ranch dip on the side.
