ZUCCHINI CHIPS WITH TAMARI AND SESAME SEEDS
Serves: 2 | Prep time: 10 minutes | Bake time: approx. 1.5 hours
INGREDIENTS
1 zucchini at room temperature
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon tamari
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
1 teaspoon nori flakes
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 90°C (fan) and line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Using a mandoline, slice zucchini thinly.
- In a small bowl combine sesame seeds and nori flakes.
- Place slices zucchini in a large bowl pour over oil and tamari, tossing zucchini slices gently to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Arrange zucchini slices on trays making sure they do not overlap. Sprinkle a little of the sesame seed mix over each slice.
Bake at 90°C (fan) for 1 hour. Remove trays from oven and very carefully flip each zucchini chip. Place rotated trays back in oven for around 20-40 minutes (as all ovens are different, do check the progress of your chips).
Remove trays from oven.
*These chips are best eaten freshly made, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
What a great idea. Wonder if it would work with cucumbers?
Thank you! Oh, I really don’t know! I would be inclined to not bake cucumber slices, but rather have a bowl of fresh slices, a small bowl of tamari and a small bowl of sesame seeds and do a dip and sprinkle type of thing with them. I think it would be super yummy! And very quick too 🙂 x
Yes, that would be yummy. 🙂
this looks so simple yet so delish! Tamari would add such a great taste.
Thank you so much! Very kind x
I think it works well… there’s something nice about the savoury saltiness combined with the toasty sesame seeds 🙂
Lovely ❤️❤️
Thanks so much, lovely <3
😘😘
Nice!
Thank you, lovely! xx
I adore zucchini chips… in my neighborhood, there are a lot of Greek restaurants and they make some delicious zucchini chips, but always fried! These look incredible – I have to try them myself at home in the oven to excuse my addiction 🙂 Beautiful, darling!
Hello lovely! Oh, I quite like the sound of those fried chips 😀 😉 but I am pretty sure these might make for a more sustainable, everyday kinda snack! <3
This is a great recipe for those of us not into the spiraling zucchini craze – could I omit or substitute the tamari?
Hi lovely! You sure could. If you don’t like tamari, you could simply sprinkle a little salt over them. Or if you wanted to do a salt and vinegar version, sub the tamari with 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar (and omit the sesame seeds) 🙂 xx
Great tip Marisa – apple cider vinegar it is!
I hope it works! 🙂 xx
These look so so good!!! I actually just bought another dehydrator because mine got moldy in the basement. eeewww. I’m going to try these!!!
Oh dear about the dehydrator! But thank you! I hope you’ll like them, lovely Mimi! 🙂 xx
oooh so simple yet healthy-ish and looks yummy.
