Ingredients
1 small small zucchini, sliced lengthwise into thin chips
¾ cup cashew meal
1 egg
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Wash and trim the zucchini, then use a mandoline or sharp knife to carefully slice it lengthwise into thin, chip-like strips about 1/8 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the cashew meal, garlic powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In another shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg with a fork. Pat the zucchini chips dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Working with one zucchini chip at a time, dip it into the beaten egg, then coat both sides thoroughly with the cashew meal mixture. Lay the coated chip on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, being careful not to overlap.
Bake for 24–28 minutes, until the coating turns golden brown and crispy. The chips should be firm when gently pressed.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before serving. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
Comments
Cashew meal is the catch here: Food Lion and Harris Teeter carry it, but you may need to pivot to ALDI or Walmart if your regular stop doesn't stock it, so budget that hunt into your week. The ingredient list is otherwise trivial—zucchini is cheap year-round in Charlotte, eggs and garlic powder are pantry staples—bringing cost per serving to roughly $1.50–$2.00. The stated 34 minutes is honest: 10 minutes prep (zucchini sliced and patted dry), 20 minutes baking, and 4 minutes rest is real time, no hidden steps. This is a straight-through recipe with no babysitting, a solid side dish or snack for two that doesn't reheat well but is equally at home on a weeknight as a weekend plate.
