Beef Free Zucchini Chips
Crispy, golden, and warmly spiced, these oven-baked zucchini rounds are the kind of snack that disappears fast. The trick is all in the prep — blotting the slices thoroughly before baking pulls out excess moisture, which is what gives you that satisfying crunch instead of a soggy chip. Coconut oil coats every round beautifully, while garlic powder, turmeric, and ginger bring a subtle, earthy warmth that makes plain vegetables taste genuinely exciting. A long, low bake at 225°F does the heavy lifting, slowly drying the slices until they curl at the edges and crisp up just right. Completely plant-based and free from any animal proteins, this is a snack you can feel good about serving to just about anyone at the table. Let them cool for a few minutes after coming out of the oven — they firm up even more as they sit, and the patience is absolutely worth it.

Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/8-inch (3mm) thick. Lay the slices in a single layer on paper towels, sprinkle lightly with a pinch of the sea salt, and press a second layer of paper towels firmly on top. Let stand for 5 minutes, then press again to draw out as much surface moisture as possible — the drier the slices, the crisper the chips.
