Instructions

Using your mandolin or electric food slicer, as you can see on the video, slice the zucchini into thin approx 3 mm slices.
Once you slice your zucchini, place them into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle extra virgin olive oil, smoked paprika, and salt. In this step, you can add more spices if you wish to.
Gently mix all of the zucchini slices, ensuring all the spices and oil evenly distribute on each zucchini.
Take out your dehydrator and place zucchini slices in a single layer onto the dehydrator trays. Using your hand will help ensure you coat all the zucchinis evenly from each side.
Once you fill all of the dehydrator trays, stack them on top of each other, close the lid and switch the dehydrator on low heat for 8 hours or overnight.

Notes

Oil – a little goes a long way. Make sure you do not oil them fully. Otherwise, the chips will never become crisp.
Thickness - Approx. 3mm slices – Ensure the fresh zucchinis are not sliced extra thin to prevent the paper-like feel after dehydrating.
Paprika Powder – Spread the powder evenly and do not overuse it. Too much will make the chips bitter.
Crispiness retention – Once dehydrated, eat zucchini chips straight or immediately store them in an airtight container.
Recrisp – If your chips become soggy after a while, place them into the dehydrator for about an hour or pop them in the oven on the lowest temperature for approximately 10 minutes until they are brown and crispy. They will crisp back. Make sure you watch them as they burn easily.
