Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and coat it lightly with olive oil spray.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the zucchinis into ⅛-inch-thick rounds.
Sprinkle the slices with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and place them in a colander. Let them sit for 15-30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After salting, rinse and pat the zucchini slices dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil to coat evenly.
Mix together the remaining salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, and lemon zest. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the zucchini slices, ensuring each slice is well-coated. For added crispiness and flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the slices.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn the slices over, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini chips are browned and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the zucchini chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.

Notes

The addition of lemon zest to the seasoning mix gives these zucchini chips a unique and refreshing burst of citrus flavor that enhances the overall taste, making them stand out from traditional recipes.
Store any leftover zucchini chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. To restore crispiness, reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes.
