01
Step 1
Start by slicing the zucchini into really thin rounds—about 1/16 of an inch thick—using a mandoline if you have one. Spread the slices out on a clean surface and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes so some of the moisture can come out. After that, gently pat the slices dry with a paper towel to get rid of as much water as possible.

Step 2
Next, preheat your oven to 220°F (105°C). Toss the zucchini slices in a big bowl with some olive oil until they’re evenly coated. Sprinkle in the ranch seasoning and dill, then give everything a gentle stir to mix it all together without breaking the slices.

Step 3
Line two large baking sheets with nonstick spray, then arrange the zucchini in a single layer on the sheets—make sure the slices aren’t overlapping so they crisp up nicely. Pop them in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. After that, carefully flip each chip over and bake for another 30 minutes, or until they reach the crispiness you like.

Step 4
When they’re done, transfer the chips to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any leftover oil. Let them cool a bit, then enjoy your crispy, flavorful zucchini chips!
Why you’ll love it

How to serve
Serve these chips as a fun appetizer or side dish. They pair well with extra ranch dressing or other dips like hummus or guacamole. They also make a great snack for parties or casual gatherings.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To keep them crispy, avoid sealing them while still warm or storing in the fridge, as moisture can soften the chips.
