INGREDIENT NOTES:
ZUCCHINI:
- This is the main component of this recipe. It gets tender from the inside and crispy on the outside while baking. Yellow squash is a great substitute to include instead.
OLIVE OIL:
- It makes the coating crispy and golden. Olive oil keeps the zucchini from drying. You may use avocado oil as an alternative.
PANKO BREADCRUMBS:
- These breadcrumbs give a lighter and crispier coating. They make the best crunchy texture while baking. You may use crushed cornflakes as a substitute.
NUTRITIONAL YEAST:
- It gives a cheesy and savory flavor to the chips. Nutritional yeast gives protein and vitamin B as well. You may use vegan Parmesan as another option.
SMOKED PAPRIKA:
- Paprika gives a gentle smoky taste and golden color to the recipe. You may use chili powder for a different choice.
UNSWEETENED VEGAN MILK:
- It helps the breadcrumbs coating to stick well with the zucchini slices. Do not use almond milk if you want a nut-free version. You may use soy milk, pea milk, or oat milk as a substitute.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, cover the sheet with baking paper and warm the oven to 425°F.
- Dry the washed zucchini properly and slice it into even ¼-inch rounds.
- Dry the slices properly using a paper towel to remove extra moisture.
- Mix panko breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and oregano in the shallow bowl.
- Put the vegan milk in the separate bowl and dip the zucchini slices into it.
- Then coat both sides of the slices with breadcrumb mixture and gently press to stick properly.
- Include one layer of the zucchini slices on the tray and lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
- Bake the chips for 15 minutes, then flip them and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Lastly, cool the chips for 5 minutes to make them more crispy, then serve.
