1cup (134 g)finely shredded zucchini, about 1/2 of a large zucchini
1 ½cups (170 g)finely shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wring dry the zucchini using a cheese cloth or similar type cloth. I recommend dividing the zucchini into 3 batches to do this as it will be easier to remove more moisture. When you are done, use your fingers to separate the zucchini shreds. You should be left with approximately 3/4 cup of zucchini (75 g).
Combine dried zucchini and parmesan cheese into a large bowl. Mix together until cheese is evenly combined with the zucchini. You should not have any large clumps of zucchini.
Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop up mixture and release onto prepared baking sheet. Use your fingers to shape and evenly spread the mixture. You want it to form a thin round circle (or whatever shape you prefer) that is no more than 1/8 inch thick. Make sure there are no holes or gaps when spreading out the mixture. Repeat with the rest of the zucchini mix. I had enough to form 14 chips.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown and tops are starting to turn golden brown. Please watch your oven carefully when baking as your chips may brown faster than the estimated time. Remove chips from oven and carefully flip them over using a thin cookie spatula. Place the chips back in the oven and bake again for about 2 minutes or until tops start to turn golden brown.
Remove chips and let them cool on the baking sheet. The chips should continue to firm up as they cool. If your chips do not completely firm up you can always put them back in the oven for a few more minutes. Uneaten chips can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
I have only made this recipe with freshly shredded parmesan cheese. I do not know if it works with the shelf stable kind.
If you are using a box grater, use the second smallest sized holes to shred the zucchini and parmesan cheese.
