01
Step 1
Start by slicing the zucchini into very thin rounds—about 1/16 inch thick—using a mandoline if you have one. Lay the slices out on a clean surface and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes so they release some moisture. After that, gently pat the slices with paper towels to soak up as much water as you can.

Step 2
Next, preheat your oven to 220°F (105°C). Toss the zucchini slices in a large bowl with a bit of oil to coat them lightly. Then add the grated Parmesan and ranch seasoning, stirring gently so every slice gets some flavor.

Step 3
Prepare two large baking sheets by spraying them with nonstick spray. Arrange the zucchini rounds on the sheets in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap. Pop them into the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Carefully flip each slice over, then bake for another 30 minutes or until they’re as crispy as you like.

Step 4
Once done, transfer the crisps onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil. Let them cool a bit before digging in!
