Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips

Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini (Fresh and firm zucchini is key to achieving that perfect crunch.)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Helps to crisp up the chips in the oven.)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (For seasoning; feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices.)
• 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (Adds a savory depth to each bite—nutritional yeast works for a dairy-free option.)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (For a hint of smokiness.)
