Mushroom Free Zucchini Chips
Crispy, golden, and seasoned with a warm blend of garlic, turmeric, and ginger, these oven-baked zucchini rounds deliver serious snack satisfaction without a single ingredient you'd need to second-guess. The technique is straightforward but smart — pressing out moisture with paper towels before baking is the key step that separates genuinely crunchy chips from sad, soggy slices. Coconut oil coats every round beautifully and helps the edges turn that perfect light golden color after a low-and-slow bake. For anyone navigating a mushroom-free lifestyle, packaged snacks and seasoning blends can be a minefield of hidden fungi-derived flavors and extracts, so making your own from scratch is a genuinely satisfying workaround. The spice combination here is earthy and a little exotic without being overpowering, and the chips keep crisping up as they cool, so patience pays off. These are great straight off the pan or tucked into an airtight container for later — if they last that long.

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.
