01
Step 1
Start by trimming the ends off the zucchini, then slice it super thin—about 1/8 inch thick—using a mandoline if you have one. Lay the slices out on a plate lined with paper towels, cover them with another layer of paper towels, and gently press down to soak up any extra moisture.

Step 2
Next, spread the zucchini slices out on a cutting board and give them a light spray of cooking oil. Flip them over, sprinkle on some taco seasoning, and spray that side lightly too. Arrange the slices seasoned-side up on a microwave-safe plate, making sure they don’t overlap.

Step 3
Pop the plate in the microwave on high for about 2 and a half minutes. Carefully flip each slice and microwave for another 30 seconds. If you have more zucchini, repeat this process.

Step 4
Once all your chips are cooked, divide them between two microwave-safe plates. Top them with black olives, diced red onion, jalapeño slices, and a generous sprinkle of Cheddar cheese. Microwave again for around 30 seconds, just until the cheese melts.

Serve these chips warm with your favorite dips like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. They also pair well with melted cheese or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for extra flavor.
