Zucchini is one of most versatile vegetables. I enjoy using it in baked goods like my healthy zucchini muffins and chocolate zucchini bread, but I love it even more in savory dishes.

I can’t get enough zucchini boats and zucchini corn fritters, and I’m currently obsessed with these Baked Zucchini Chips.

These chips are a great side dish or appetizer…if they make it off of the sheet pan. 🙂

Ingredient notes

  • Zucchini. You’ll only need 2 medium zucchini for this recipe. If your zucchini are larger, you may need more of the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Breadcrumbs. I used panko breadcrumbs, but you can use your favorite type. Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if you’re gluten intolerant.
  • Parmesan cheese. The parmesan adds a ton of flavor, but it can be substituted with additional breadcrumbs to make this recipe dairy-free.

How to make this recipe

Serving suggestions

Zucchini chips are so versatile and may be served up a number of ways, if you don’t hover over the sheet pan and eat them straight from the oven.

Serve them as a snack or appetizer with or without your favorite dipping sauce. They’re wonderful dunked in my Greek yogurt ranch or marinara! They would also work with pesto or tzatziki.

They make a great side dish for grilled hamburgers, veggie sandwich or bbq pulled chicken. Or serve with air fryer salmon or air fryer chicken wings!

Recipe notes

  • Baked zucchini chips are best enjoyed immediately as-is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Use gluten free breadcrumbs if gluten intolerant.
