Equipment

Ingredients

3 medium zucchinis Note 1
3 Tablespoons olive oil
½ Tablespoon ranch seasoning homemade or store bought
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese, shredded
3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray nonstick cooking spray on baking sheet, set aside. Note 1.
Slice 3 medium zucchinis into ½ inch rounds. (Thicker slices will result in more tender zucchini, while thinner slices will be crispier) See Note 2.
Place the zucchini in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Bake for 5 minutes. The zucchini will appear somewhat dry.
Brush 3 Tablespoons olive oil on the zucchini rounds.
Sprinkle zucchini with ½ Tablespoon ranch seasoning, ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese, shredded and 3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Ready to serve.

Notes

Note 1: For a quicker cleanup, feel free to use either parchment paper or aluminum foil on the baking sheet. Spray the paper or foil with non-stick spray before adding the veggies.

Note 2: Use a mandolin for even slicing. A good sharp knife works well.

Variations:

Any of your favorite spice blends can be used for these zucchini chips. Homemade Seasoning Salt is a great choice and we use this seasoning for many recipes. Cajun Seasoning is another favorite with a nice spice to it. Italian Seasoning is another good option for flavor.
The thickness of the zucchini slices can be adjusted to your preference. Thin slices will be more crispy and thicker slices are more tender.
Feta, Gouda, or goat cheese are all great choices to top the chips.
