Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini (small to medium work best)

½ teaspoon kosher salt (to draw out moisture)

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for crispier chips)

2–3 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (low-sodium preferred)

Equipment

Mandoline slicer (1/8" setting recommended)
Baking sheet (lightly greased)
Mixing bowls
Strainer
Oven

Method

Step 1: Prep the Zucchini

Wash and dry zucchini.
Slice thin, even rounds (about ⅛”) using a mandoline for best results.

Step 2: Salt & Strain

Place zucchini slices in a strainer.
Sprinkle evenly with ½ teaspoon kosher salt.
Let sit for 10–15 minutes to release moisture.
Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 3: Bake or Air Fry

Oven Method (best texture & flavor):
Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C).
Lightly grease a baking sheet (avoid parchment, it traps moisture).
Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer.
Bake 1–1.5 hours, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden.
Air Fryer Method (faster, slightly curled chips):
Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Place zucchini slices in a single layer.
Cook 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway, until crispy.

Step 4: Season

While chips are still hot, toss with ranch seasoning mix.
Serve immediately for best crunch.

Notes

These Cool Ranch Zucchini Chips are a crunchy, keto-friendly snack that satisfies your chip cravings without the carbs. Perfect for parties, weeknight snacking, or a healthy side dish.

Tips for Perfect Cool Ranch Zucchini Chips

Uniform slices = even crisping → mandoline is best.
Don’t skip the salt step → removes water for crunchier chips.
Greased baking sheet > parchment → parchment traps moisture.
Air fryer is faster but chips may curl & brown unevenly.
Season after baking → ensures bold ranch flavor without oversalting.
