Follow The Directions

01

Step

Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the zucchini into approximately 1/16-inch-thick rounds. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Lay the zucchini slices on a clean work surface (such as a cutting board lined with paper towels) and sprinkle generously with sea salt. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

03

Step

After 10 minutes, gently pat the zucchini slices dry with paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy chips. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Preheat your oven to 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). (5 minutes)

05

Step

In a large bowl, combine the zucchini chips with the extra-virgin olive oil, ensuring each slice is lightly coated. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Add the ranch dressing mix and finely chopped freeze-dried dill to the bowl. Gently toss until the zucchini slices are evenly coated with the seasonings. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Lightly spray two large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Arrange the zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer, making sure none of the slices are overlapping. Overlapping will result in unevenly cooked, soggy chips. (10 minutes)

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. (40 minutes)

10

Step

Carefully flip each zucchini slice and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the chips reach your desired level of crispiness. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (30 minutes)

11

Step

Once the chips are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly. This will help absorb any remaining oil. (5 minutes)

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder along with the ranch dressing mix and dill.
If you don't have freeze-dried dill, you can use fresh dill, but be sure to chop it very finely and use a slightly larger amount (about 1 tablespoon).
The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so be sure to keep a close eye on the chips and adjust the time accordingly.
