Let’s Eat Oven Baked Zucchini Chips!
How to Make Zucchini Chips:
I want to encourage you that aside from the above pointers, which are relatively simple, these oven baked zucchini chips are incredibly easy to make and it’s actually a bit of a fun process. Slice, dip, dredge. Slice, dip, dredge. You’ll see what I mean when you read the recipe.
Everyone deserves chips now and then and why not enjoy a healthier version. These baked zucchini parmesan chips are actually pretty low in calories, low in saturated fats, and they totally satisfy a salty-tooth hankering. Not to mention they are made with baked zucchini, but I guarantee your veggie-hating littles will never know that! For the parmesan I used Earth Island dairy free parmesan which by far is the best dairy alternative parmesan cheese I’ve had. The texture is great, the taste is awesome and it’s made with mainly potato starch, certified organic palm oil and water, and it also melts like a charm on these zucchini chips.
Have you ever made healthier veggie chips? Which kind is your favorite? I’d love to read about it in the comments below! Â
- ¼ cup dry gluten free breadcrumbs (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ cup grated dairy-free parmesan, I used Earth Island (or regular parmesan cheese)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2½ cups zucchini, sliced into ⅛" thick rounds
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Grease the top of a wire cooling rack with the coconut oil and place on a regular baking sheet.
- Combine the first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl stirring with a whisk.
- Add almond milk to a small bowl.
- Dip zucchini slices in milk and then dredge the slice in the breadcrumb parmesan mixture to lightly coat both sides.
- Place coated slices on the wire rack.
- Repeat with each slice until all are coated and evenly dispersed on the wire rack.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until browned and crisped, watch closely to make sure the chips don't burn!
- Enjoy immediately and dip in a healthy ranch or marinara sauce if preferred!

Can these be made the day before?
Hi Janet, I wouldn’t recommend it! I have a feeling they would lose their crispiness and end up tasting soft the next day. Best eaten fresh out of the oven 🙂
What did you use for dips?
A marina sauce and a dairy free ranch dressing!
These were Excellent !!! I just eye-balled the ingredients, hubby is not a fan of parmesan, so I just used a small amount. He loved them too. I will be making these again…soon… tomorrow !! LOL Thanks so much for the recipe.
Thanks Ange.
Does anyone have a recipe for Zucchini Chips, UNBREADED?
Just made these… SOOOOOO delicious!! Had a couple changes:
– didn’t have any milk, so I just used egg whites that I had in my fridge
– on a “no sugar (added) diet” so instead of bread crumbs, I used whole wheat rolled oats
– baked 20 minutes at 400F and then 10 minutes at 425F so they wouldn’t burn
Used a food processor to mix everything up. I started out putting the slices on a rack, but they kept falling so I just oiled the baking sheet directly and it ended up browning really nicely on the bottom.
Great subs Ange! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed!
I wonder what whole wheat rolled oats are. Wheat are not oats. Anyone have a clue?
Hi Danielle, the recipe calls for whole wheat bread crumbs – I’m not sure where you are reading about whole wheat rolled oats???
The lady who altered your recipe said she used “whole wheat rolled oats” instead of breadcrumbs.
I’m not sure exactly what “whole wheat rolled oats” are? Also, I’m not sure how well that would work to be honest!
These were great! I took the advice of other reviewers and lowered my oven temp a bit so they wouldn’t burn, then after 20 min put it back up to 425 for another 10 min. They were awesome! I only had panko bread crumbs too and they still turned out great! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Great! So happy you enjoyed them MaryAnn!
Your zucchini chips look very delicious! I’m going to make them today for my son’s family. First I have to go pick the zucchini from the garden and I know they will be delicious!
I’m in Manitoba, it’s nice to meet another Prairie blogger.

Nice to meet you too! 🙂 Enjoy the chips – garden zucchini will make them extra tasty!! 🙂
I gave this recipe five stars because it’s awesome! Yes, individual preparations of these chips can definitely vary. I actually mixed the recipe with another, and made it wheat and gluten free by using ground cashews instead of bread crumbs, and added in a 1 1/2 tsp. of small nutritional yeast flakes and a few shakes of Trader Joe’s 21 Salute Seasoning. They were delish! But I will have to adjust the temp or time next time because some burnt. Thanks Christal! 😀
