Do you know how to make zucchini chips yet? I’m excited to share this healthy baked zucchini chips recipe, because it’s totally a breeze to make (and full of fresh produce, just like easy fruit leather). You can make these zucchini chips in the oven, or even make dehydrated zucchini chips if you have a dehydrator. I’ve done both versions and they both turn out great!
Zucchini season is one of the only reasons that I don’t mind summer coming to an end. They are probably my all-time favorite vegetable. And I know many of you are with me on that one. I hope you’re as excited to learn how to make zucchini chips as I am to share them with you!
There are so many ways to incorporate zucchini into low carb recipes. Mix it with sweet ingredients for desserts like zucchini bread, savory ones for appetizers like zucchini fries and side dishes like zucchini Alfredo, or meats for main dishes like beef stuffed squash. Of course, you can’t go wrong with simple grilled or roasted zucchini, either.
And if you aren’t sure how to make zucchini noodles yet, that’s a must. I share all of my tips for the best way to make them! I’ll never run out of ways to eat zucchini noodles. (And be sure to check out my guide for low carb pasta alternatives if you like the idea of veggie noodles.)
The only problem is that I wish that quality zucchini was available year round. I have so many ideas for ways to use zucchini, but I never have enough time to share each and every one with you, because the selection just isn’t the freshest most of the year.
But right now, in the middle of July, the zucchini are perfectly juicy and crunchy. You’d better believe I’ll be taking full advantage while I can!
So what do you do when you have a mountain of zucchini to go through? This oven baked zucchini chips recipe is at the top of the list!
Are you read to make some healthy baked zucchini chips? No breading needed!
How To Make Zucchini Chips In The Oven
If you don’t know how to make zucchini chips yet, don’t worry – it’s one of the easiest low carb zucchini recipes ever! These quick zucchini chips take just 10 minutes to prep and you’ll have healthy oven chips in no time
- Thinly slice your zucchini. You want zucchini crisps, so get them as thin as you can. A mandoline slicer makes this process easy.
- Toss with olive oil and salt.
TIP: If you want to add a little extra flavor, try using a fancy seasoning salt! If you can find truffle salt, it totally makes this recipe that much better. And if you haven’t tried it before, I highly recommend it (you can buy it here). I put it in almost anything that would need sea salt and it’s so good. The truffle salt turns a simple concept of baked veggie chips, and makes it seem fancy and indulgent. You can still use regular salt if you want, though, so I wrote the recipe that way for a more common-ingredient version.
- Place the zucchini slices onto a prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer. This is a trick to the best zucchini chips, they need space to dry out so that they aren’t steaming.
- Bake the keto zucchini chips until they are golden and starting to get crispy.
TIP: Let the pan cool in the oven after you turn the heat off. It will help them get a little crispier!
These healthy zucchini chips take a little longer in the oven compared to most baked veggie recipes, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. The extra cooking time allows the moisture to evaporate, leaving these chips crispy, while the low temperature avoids burning.
How To Make Dehydrated Zucchini Chips
If you’re looking for a zucchini chips dehydrator recipe, I have that too! A dehydrator works really well for healthy zucchini chips. The dehydrated zucchini chips take 8 hours to make.
Simply follow the same steps as above, but instead of putting them in the oven, you’ll put them into the dehydrator. Check your dehydrator for specific timing, but mine took about 8 hours. The good thing about dehydrated zucchini chips is that it’s harder to burn them, since they dry out so slowly.
How To Store Baked Zucchini Chips
You can store the low carb zucchini chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
TIP: If they start to soften, you can crisp them up again by returning them to the oven until crispy again. Just make sure to keep the temperature very low if you do that!
To be honest, these easy zucchini chips never last that long at my house. My daughter and I love them so much that they are usually gone within a day or two.
Are Zucchini Chips Healthy?
Yes, these baked zucchini chips in the oven are incredibly healthy! They are made from zucchini, olive oil, and salt.
They are such a healthy and tasty way to enjoy vegetables as a snack. This three-ingredient recipe for paleo zucchini chips is one of my favorite ways to use zucchini. It’s amazingly simple, yet flavorful.

Instructions
Tap on the times in the instructions below to start a kitchen timer while you cook.
-
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).
-
Use a mandolin to slice zucchini into 1/8 in (.3 cm) thick slices.
-
Add olive oil and toss to coat the zucchini slices thoroughly. Sprinkle lightly with salt (you need less than you may think - the slices will shrink during baking, making the flavor more intense). Toss to coat again.
-
Place
cookie baking racks on top of two cookie sheets, then top those with parchment paper. (The cooling rack method allows for better air circulation.) Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer. It's fine if they touch, but make sure they don't overlap.
-
Bake for about 2 1/2 hours, rotating the pans halfway through. The zucchini chips are done when they are golden and just starting to get crispy. Allow them to cool in the oven with the heat off and the door propped slightly open (they will crisp up more as they cool).

How long will these chips keep?
Wholesome Yum D
Hi Brian, You can store the low carb zucchini chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
Jenny
Can you make these in an air fryer?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jenny, Yes, you can! Follow my air fryer zucchini chips recipe.
Denise
Can you freeze these after they are cooked to bring out and crisp back up in the oven
Melissa
Hi Denise, These can’t be frozen, sorry.
Stephanie Watson
Very easy to make. I love zucchini and now I can enjoy it as a snack whenever. Plus it is a great substitute for a chip craving! I think that with this recipe you can get really creative with the flavors too. For the next prep day, I plan to make these into a salt and vinegar chip version. I made mine super crispy and browned! My biggest issue will be portion control…I could easily eat all of them right off the pan.
SE
These look yummy.
Can they be made with a food dehydrator?
Thanks.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi SE, Place the zucchini slices in a dehydrator for approximately 8 hours. For more detailed instructions, check out the section called ‘How to make dehydrated zucchini chips’ in the blog post.
Emily O.
These were great. I ate a whole zucchini of chips in less than an hour. I should be embarrassed, but I’m not. One serving of vegetables into my body.
Regano
Made these today….. I sprinkled them with reduced salt “Bagel” mix (equal parts any color sesame seed, garlic and dehydrated onion flake. I did not have enough black sesame on hand so I subbed in black chia. STILL good!
Megan
Hi!
Did I miss the temperature for the oven for zucchini chips?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Megan, it’s 200 degrees F.
Rachel
Would you still use the oil when you are dehydrating the Zucchini Chips?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Rachel, Yes, you would!
Jenna Urben
Yum!! I love zucchini. Gonna try this recipe next time I buy a bunch! Love the low and slow method.
Jean Jobse
What about air fryer? It’s way too long in the oven or dehydrator.
Wholesome Yum
Hi Jean, I haven’t tried the air fryer for this recipe so I can’t say for sure. Keep in mind they’re meant to get very dry.
Kortney
This would be great for the winter when it’s cold and having the oven on is a bonus!
Ella May Dillard
I will like to try your zucchini chips it looks so good and yummy I am big fan of them
Tayler Ross
I could snack on these chips all day long! They look so good!
Jane Saunders
I first had zucchini chips in The Rainbow Rooms, NYC 12 years ago and couldn’t stop eating them. Love the idea of truffle salt on them.
jmt
i use a combination of convection/microwave oven & it works like a charm for dehydration… best purchase ive made for lots of baking choices/options
Maya | Wholesome Yum
That’s great to know, thank you!
Debra Hamilton
Thank you. I love your recipes!!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thanks so much, Debra!
Kat
Are these just eaten plain, or do you use with a dip?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kat, You can do either way. Here are all my low carb dip recipes.
Cheryl
Will the chips turn out ok if grated Parmesan cheese is added?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cheryl! Yes, that should be fine. I hope you like the chips!
E. klim
I plan to make these today. If I were to make a larger quantity for a future gathering, what is the best way to store them (and for how long can they be stored)?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
You can store them on the counter, in the cupboard or pantry, in an airtight container. They’ll probably keep for at least several days, or longer in the fridge. Sometimes they lose their crispiness as they sit, and if that happens, you can place them in the oven for 10 minutes at 200 degrees to crisp up.
Nancy
Can you post or send me directions for doing these in the dehydrator? I have one and seldom use it. Wouldn’t they make a mess with the oil on them?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Nancy, You can just follow the same instructions, except put them in the dehydrator for about 8 hours. The exact amount of time will vary depending on how thick the slices are.
Christine
I’m crazy for anything and everything truffles but my jar of truffle salt has to be stored inside a tupperware bin because my husband can NOT abide the smell. To me, it smells like heaven.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Haha, me too, Christine! My husband hates truffles too, but I’m completely in love with them. These zucchini chips can be made with regular salt, for those that don’t like truffles.
Taryn
I love zucchini chips! Great idea to use the truffle salt.
Tasha
Zucchini chips rule! Yours look absolutely perfect, truffle salt is a great idea.
STACEY
Truffle salt sounds divine! I need to get some and try this 🙂
Kim | Low Carb Maven
Fun recipe. I love that you used the truffle salt for some sophisticated flavor. I’m getting some for sure. Love this chip substitute.
Allergy Awesomeness
Love that this is a simple cracker replacement! YUM!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Such a great idea to use these as a cracker replacement!
jules shepard
These look amazing! Can’t wait to try in my dehydrator, but thanks for the oven directions, too!
~jules
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Jules! How do you like the dehydrator? Do you think it’s a worthwhile tool to have (versus making veggie chips in the oven)?
naturalfitfoodie
I love healthy snacks like these!
Sylvie
Ooo, the truffle sounds wonderful with these!
GiGi Eats Celebrities
Yum Yum and MORE YUM! I love making veggie chips of ALL types!
