Oh MY Goodness..
These are SO good. Full of flavors, slightly spicy. Amazing.
The ONLY downside.. the serving is so small. Seriously, you have no idea how small that 1 1b of zucchini is going to get. And you are not going to want to share.. lol. Basically this recipes makes one nice sized serving for one person.. yep one. But I am marking it 1-2 servings.
Couple of notes.
1. These have a nice peppery taste. If you are a big fan of salt and pepper chips you could even add more. But be careful since they shrink down so much, a little goes a long way.
2. The olive oil is super yummy on them, but it’s greasy. I did not actually try them with out the oil, but my guess is that they would be fine.
3. * You need to slice these VERY thin. The tried a second batch on my mandoline slicer on the thicker blade. I loved that it took less time to slice and took up less room in the dehydrator, meaning I could fit more in. But those suckers would not get crisp. They were in there about 10 hours and still were chewy. So that did not work.
4. You can do these in the oven instead of a dehydrator . Here are directions for that.
5. You can also check out my Crispy Cucumber Chips here.
My daughters LOVED them.. too bad I had to share..
- 1 lb (about 4 cups) thin sliced Zucchini*
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp olive oil (this can be omitted)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Note: I cut my zucchini on a mandoline slicer. I did both the thin and thick slices. The thin turned out much better and crispier.
- In a medium bowl whisk salt, pepper, olive oil (if used), and vinegar
- Add sliced zucchini
- Toss with the “dressing” to coat.
- Arrange slices on dehydrator trays
- Dehydrate at 135 degrees for 5-6 hours or until crispy

Wow! I am making these tomorrow!
They look delicious!
I also did these in a dehydrator but then popped them under my broiler for a very short period (stand there and watch them) to get a nice crisp on them, loved them!
that was a great idea!
What degree for the oven, and how long in oven? I grow my own zucchini and always looking for a way to use them. Thanks.
Dotti– since I did not do them in the oven you will have to look at the post about making them in the oven
Looks delicious! I may have to try this tomorrow.

I love zucchini but have never thought about using it in a way such as this. I will try this one out. Thanks for the recipe.
Going to have to try this sometime, sounds so good, thanks.
I’m going to try these. I know what you mean about the serving size. Squash has so much water it tends to cook down fast.

I’ve never had zucchini chips before. They sound kind of good.
This looks like a delicous healthier alternative to potato chips! I think I’ll have to try this, and I might do some experimenting with seasoned salt blends…

Thank you for sharing I am going to try this with Summer Squash as well.
These look perfect to serve at a summer cookout!
OMG Yummmm, I will def be making these….Thank you
These look so tasty and will try to make zucchini chips sometimes.
I use TopChip trays in the microwave so they are done in a few minutes. Also, if you don’t want all the oil but want the flavor you can use the olive oil flavored ‘Pam’ spray.
