Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Zucchini Chips Be Crispy?
No, unlike traditional potato chips, these zucchini chips will have a softer texture due to the high moisture content from the zucchini. However, the flour coating will help give the zucchini some texture.
Can I Add Other Seasonings to the Oven Baked Zucchini Chips?
Yes, feel free to add any seasoning that will hold up to the high heat of the oven such as dried herbs or spices. Dried oregano, Italian seasonings, or dried thyme would all be delicious herbs for the chips. Alternatively, you could add some garlic powder or onion powder to the flour for added savoriness, or even some chili powder or cayenne if you are looking for some spice.
What to Serve With Oven Baked Zucchini Chips?
You can serve the zucchini chips with any of your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup or mayonnaise. They would also be delicious with garlic or chipotle aioli.
How to Store Oven Baked Zucchini Chips
The zucchini chips will soften during storage so they are best eaten after they are made. However, if you do have some chips left over, you could store them in a sealed container in the fridge for a few days, and reheat them in an air fryer or oven to re-crisp them.
