Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Gather your baking sheets and parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the zucchinis, then slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick.
  3. Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer on a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Pat the zucchini dry with another paper towel to remove salty moisture.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine dried zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer.
  7. Bake the zucchini chips for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  8. Once baked, let the chips cool for 5 minutes before serving.
