Baked Zucchini Ranch Parmesan Chips
Perfectly crisp-tender zucchini chips baked from start to finish – guilt-free, healthy and just so stinking good!
I wasn’t the biggest veggie eater as a kid. I was actually all about the meat. I’m Korean so Korean BBQ was pretty much a staple in our home.
But hey, if all vegetables had freshly grated Parmesan and Ranch Seasoning, I would have been the best teenage veggie eater in the whole world.
Because this – these crisp zucchini coins – have been my breakfast, lunch and dinner for the last 3 days. And probably for the next 3 days. And the next. And the next.
You get it.
I mean, maybe I’ll sneak in a donut here or there but that’s called dessert.
And that’s besides the point.
These chips on the other hand are completely addicting. They’re perfectly crisp on the outside yet they just melt in your mouth with every bite.
And the extra Parmesan garnish just puts it over the top.
Plus, you know that these are completely baked so you can enjoy these 100% guilt-free.
Remember – it’s veggie-loading – you just can’t lose here.

Hello 🙂 I’m just wondering if you can prep the baked zucchini chips ahead of time? Or will they go soggy? Thanks!
This is really best when served immediately.
How clever to bake and then broil the zucchini to crisp them up! Love it! and I lov the idea of eating these and nothing but for days! I can get on board with that!
Zucchini is such a great food so I know these have to be scrumptous. How do you serve these, as a side dish or as snack food? I guess one could serve them either way, right?
Yes, either way! 🙂
