Ingredients
  

For the Zucchini Chips:

2 medium zucchinis

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 pinch cayenne pepper (for a spicy kick)

For the Garlic Aioli:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chips from sticking.

    Prepare Zucchini: Rinse and dry the zucchinis thoroughly. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, cut the zucchinis into thin slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Place the slices into a large mixing bowl.

      Season Zucchini: In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you like it spicy). Pour this seasoning mixture over the zucchini slices, and gently toss to ensure all the slices are evenly coated with the flavorful oil and spices.

        Arrange for Baking: Lay the seasoned zucchini slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap. This allows for even cooking and crispiness. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for about 2 hours, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure they achieve a golden brown and crispy texture.

          Make the Garlic Aioli: While the zucchini chips are baking, you can prepare the garlic aioli. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the aioli is well blended and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

            Serve: Once the zucchini chips are fully baked and crispy, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Transfer the chips to a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color. Serve warm alongside the garlic aioli for dipping, and enjoy your delightful snack!
