A craveable, crispy, low-carb veggie snack
Making veggie chips is an excellent way to use up all those zucchinis (courgettes), which can grow prolifically and oversize in your garden. Even if you are not a gardener, buying zucchini for the exact purpose of making chips is highly recommended and so much healthier than the standard store-bought potato chip.
If you love to snack on something crispy and salty than these dehydrated salt & vinegar zucchini chips will hit the spot. They are healthy enough to eat by the handful and delicious enough to be craveable!
The key to creating the perfect zucchini chip is in the thickness that you slice. We started with raw zucchini and sliced ours 2 mm thick using a mandolin and the result is crispy! You can eat zucchini chips by the handful or serve them as an appetiser alongside dips or as a crunchy garnish to top a meal.

Making veggie chips is an excellent way to
use up all those zucchinis (courgettes), which can grow prolifically
and oversize in your garden. Even if you are not a gardener, buying
zucchini for the exact purpose of making chips is highly recommended and
so much healthier than the standard store-bought potato chip.
¼ cup vinegar (we used a combination of balsamic & apple cider vinegar)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to sprinkle
Directions
Wash the zucchini
Slice the zucchini as thin as possible. We recommend using a mandolin, but you can use a knife. Just make sure you slice thin and an even thickness.
In a small bowl combine oil, vinegar and salt.
Transfer the sliced zucchini to the bowl and toss to coat.
Let the zucchini sit in the bowl for 10 mins to absorb the vinegar. Toss once or twice to ensure they are thoroughly coated.
Lay the slices on the Breeze dehydrator
trays. The zucchini slices will dehydrate and shrink to less than half
their size, so it’s possible to arrange the slices close together, just
don’t overlap or stack.
Sprinkle with extra salt
Set the Breeze dehydrator to 75°C and the timer to 8 hours. At this temperature zucchini should dehydrate between 8-11 hours depending on the thickness of your slices and the humidity on the day.
The zucchini chips are done when they are crisp.
Store the chips in an airtight container in a cool place.
