Zucchini Chips with Parmesan

Paper-thin zucchini chips with a savory Parmesan crust, gently dried in a dehydrator. The interplay of mild zucchini flavor and intense hard cheese creates an irresistible snack. The dehydrating process draws out the natural moisture from the zucchini, producing a crispy, flavorful slice.

Instructions
Preparation & Dewatering
40 minutesCut zucchini into uniform slices approx. 3 mm thin. Lay slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, sprinkle with sea salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Then pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
Seasoning
10 minutesPlace dry zucchini slices in a bowl and mix with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano and black pepper. Distribute grated Parmesan evenly over the slices.
Dehydrating
8-12 hoursSpread slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays. Set the dehydrator to 57 °C and dehydrate for 8–12 hours. Check the level of crispiness for the first time after 6 hours.
Check and Cool
15 minutesChips are ready when they feel dry and crispy and no longer have a soft center. Allow to cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Pro Tip
Pre-treating with salt and subsequently patting the zucchini dry is crucial. The less residual moisture, the crispier the chips will be and the shorter the dehydrating time.
