Tips making baked zucchini chips.
Because this is a vegan recipe, you will need to use vegan eggs. I have included easy chickpea vegan eggs in the ingredient list.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- The crispiness of the zucchini chips depends a lot on how thick the zucchini is sliced. For a crispier chip, slice your zucchini no wider than â…›-1/4" thick. Wide slices will be less crisp and may take longer to bake.
- You do not have to make this a vegan recipe. Simply omit the chickpea eggs and use regular eggs. Or, you can use the egg substitute of your choice.
- This recipe works best when you use a rimmed baking sheet that is prepped with nonstick spray. This will help the zucchini chips get more crisp!
How to prepare zucchini for this recipe.
I always soak or scrub my zucchini if I will not be peeling the skin off. You can use prepare the skin as preferred or use a peeler to remove it.
The zucchini should be sliced into chips that are no larger than ¼" wide.
I use a mandolin to slice zucchini slices.
You can alternatively use a vegetable peeler.
