Ingredients

Servings: 4

  • 4 firm zucchinis, with minimal seeds
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fine semolina
  • Oil, for frying
  • Tzatziki, for serving

Directions

  1. Prep the Zucchini
    Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them very thinly on a mandoline at a diagonal angle for larger, oval-shaped chips. If using a knife, cut into paper-thin slices, about 3–4 mm thick.

  2. Salt and Sweat
    Spread the slices on a large tray in a single layer. Sprinkle lightly with salt, toss gently, and let them sit for 5–10 minutes to release moisture.

  3. Prepare the Coating
    In a wide bowl, combine the flour and semolina. Dredge the zucchini slices in the mixture, making sure they’re evenly coated on all sides.

  4. Fry the Chips
    Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Once hot, briefly dip each zucchini slice in a bowl of cold water, then immediately place it in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 2 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

  5. Drain and Season
    Transfer the chips to paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with a touch of sea salt or flaky salt.

  6. Repeat
    Continue with the remaining zucchini slices, working quickly to ensure crisp results.

Recipe Tips

Serve your zucchini chips with tzatziki for a classic Greek combo, or opt for a simple tomato sauce for a lighter, tangy alternative. These chips stay crispy even as they cool — perfect for sharing!
