Ingredients

1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 pinch salt to taste
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
1 teaspoon freeze-dried dill
1 serving cooking spray

Instructions

Using a mandoline, thinly slice zucchini into 1/16-inch rounds. Lay the slices on a clean surface, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Preheat your oven to 220 degrees F (105 degrees C).
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil to coat. Add ranch powder and dill, then gently toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Spray two large baking sheets with cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared sheets, ensuring they don't overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, then flip the slices. Continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until they reach your preferred level of crispiness. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to cool.
