These Dehydrated Zucchini Chips are a crispy, low-carb snack made with just three ingredients. They're light, salty, and full of flavor thanks to a sprinkle of Everything But The Bagel Seasoning.
I started making these chips when we had more zucchini than we knew what to do with. If you grow your own, you know how fast they get away from you! They reminded me of the easy snacking comfort of tortilla chips, but with the simplicity and nutrition of fresh garden vegetables.
These are great served with my Quick and Easy Caramelized Onion Dip or my popular Clam Dip for a variety of dipping options.

Why You'll Love Dehydrated Zucchini Chips
Keto-friendly and low carb: Satisfy that chip craving without the carbs.
Only three ingredients: simple, wholesome, and pantry-friendly.
Great way to use up garden zucchini: no waste, even from oversized squash.
Key Ingredients
Zucchini: Use large zucchini. The drying process removes moisture from the soft centers, making them perfect for chips.
Olive oil: Just alight brushing helps the seasoning stick and adds richness.
Everything But the Bagel Seasoning: A savory blend that gives these chips a pop of flavor with every bite.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Swap avocado oil for olive oil for a more neutral flavor.
- Use ranch seasoning in place of Everything but the Bagel for a different flavor profile.
- Try a sprinkle of grated parmesan and garlic powder for a cheesy version.
Recipe Variations
Spicy Zucchini Chips: Add crushed red pepper flakes or chipotle powder.
Herb Garden Chips: Use Italian seasoning with a dash of sea salt.
Salt & Vinegar Style: Lightly mist with vinegar before dehydrating, then sprinkle with salt.
Top Tips for the Best Chips
- Slice zucchini with a mandoline to ensure uniform drying. Uneven slices may not crisp up the same.
- Lightly brush oil on one side only to prevent sticking and sogginess.
- Don't overcrowd the trays. Space the chips out so air can circulate for even drying.
How to Store
Store fully dehydrated chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer shelf life, keep them in a sealed bag with a moisture absorber packet.
Serve With...
Serve with any of your favorite dips like my spinach artichoke dip or buffalo chickpea dip. You can also round out a snack board with air fryer tortilla chips, keto cheese puffs, and cheese chips!

I notice on ur zucchini chips u don't have a temperature to cook at. I have the air fryer 360 so u have to set a temp to dehydrate.
Can u tell me what the temp should be set at?
Shelby Law Ruttan says
Hi Jean, unfortunately, I am not familiar with the air fryer 360 however I did some research for you and found that for the Power AirFryer 360, you should dehydrate at 115 for 8-10 hours. I hope this helps you out. Shelby

I had a chance to try them.. I used a different flavoring. They turned out ok... I think though they need to be sliced a little thicker. My centers all stuck to the trays!
Shelby Law Ruttan says
Hi Karen, thanks for trying out the recipe! My first batch stuck to the tray also. I did mention this in the post and that is why I cut mine thicker. I still had a few where the center stuck, but I think it is because it was a large zucchini, but most of mine did not stick after I sliced thicker.
Karen says
Hoping for a zuke overload to try this!
Wendy says
Temperature?
Shelby Law Ruttan says
The dehydrator I recommend has a setting for fruits and veggies, so you just choose that setting. If your dehydrator has a temp setting, I would set it at 130-140 degrees. If you want to use the oven set the temp at the lowest setting for 5-6 hours.
