Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Chips Low Carb Weight Watchers Recipe

The Ingredients

Zucchini
Parmesan cheese, grated
Olive oil
Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt

Zucchini

Zucchini is low in carbs and calories but packed with nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. It’s also high in water content, which helps keep you full and hydrated while supporting digestion.

Parmesan Cheese

Parmesan adds rich flavor without needing a lot. It’s high in protein and calcium, which supports muscle health and bone strength. A little goes a long way, making it perfect for lighter recipes.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is a heart-healthy fat loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins and adds a satisfying richness to the chips.

Seasonings

Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper all add flavor with minimal calories or carbs.

How to Make Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Chips

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice your zucchini into rounds. Lay them on a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.

Lightly sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. When the time is up, lightly pat them dry with another paper towel.

Add the zucchini slices to a bowl and toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated.

Sprinkle in the parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning then toss to coat well.

Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the baking sheet (avoid overlapping).

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Let them cool slightly, they’ll crisp up even more as they sit. Serve and enjoy!
