Don't use too much salt as the zucchini will shrink while baking.
Make sure not to burn zucchini chips, so keep an eye on the oven.
If your zucchini chips are soggy, it means you should bake them for a little bit longer.
You can add more flavor by coating zucchini slices with parmesan cheese too as it adds a slight tangy boost.
If you want to make zucchini chips in the air fryer, cook them at 370°F for about 5 minutes per side or until crispy.
