Tips and Tricks

• Pat dry your zucchini: Removing excess moisture ensures the chips get crispy instead of soggy.
• Use fine panko: Blitzing panko in the food processor creates a light, crunchy coating that sticks perfectly.
• Flip halfway through baking: This helps achieve even browning and maximum crispiness on both sides.

Variations

• Swap the zucchini: Try the same method with eggplant or thinly sliced sweet potatoes for a twist.
• Make it vegan: Substitute eggs with aquafaba or flax eggs and use vegan mayo.
• Spice it up: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili powder to the breading mix for an extra kick.

Substitutions

• Almond flour: Use all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blends if preferred.
• Momofuku savory salt: Regular kosher salt or smoked sea salt works just fine.
• Rice wine vinegar: Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar can be used in the spicy mayo.

Best Served With

• Cold beers or light white wine
• Fresh Asian slaw or cucumber salad
• Grilled meats or tofu skewers
• Steamed jasmine rice or sticky rice bowls

How to Store Leftovers

• Store leftover zucchini chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to crisp them back up. The spicy mayo can be kept refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 4 days.
