Game Day or Just Wednesday Night, You Will Love These Keto Zucchini Chips!

I have often joked that I am all about dips and sauces, and one of the challenges of a low carb diet is that your options for dippers are limited.

If you love sauces as much as I do, I'd like to introduce you to your newest BFF.

These Keto Zucchini Chips are cheesy, crispy, and crunchy! They are the perfect vessel for your favorite dip. (I like them with this Keto Blue Cheese Dressing or this Keto Ranch Dressing.

Do you know what else is exciting about this recipe? It is an easy way to get your kids eating vegetables. (Something that all three of my kids resist.)

They are surprisingly easy to make! I like to use a mandoline - it makes slicing them perfectly even a BREEZE. They aren't expensive and well worth the investment. (I've linked to mine under tools.)

Thinner slices will create a crunchier chip, but of course, involve a bit more breading.

How to Make "Breaded" Keto Zucchini Chips

First, cut your zucchini thin. I like to use a mandoline slicer for this, but a knife works too.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How Do I Make Zucchini Chips without Breading?

If breading isn't your thing, you can slice the zucchini to 1/8 inch thick, and sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and fresh ground pepper. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a 250-degree oven for 1 hour. Flip and bake another 30 minutes.

Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?

Because of the crispy factor, it is best to make this recipe just before serving. However, if you would like to prep ahead you can bread the zucchini up to four hours before cooking. Leftovers are good for about 2 days kept covered in the refrigerator.
