- Preheat oven to 220 C / Gas 7. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Slice courgettes into 8cm lengths, then slice each piece into 9 chips. Place courgette chips into a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let the courgette pieces drain for at least 1 hour to remove excess liquid.
- Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Mix ground almonds, Parmesan cheese and seasoning in a second shallow bowl. Rinse salt off courgette chips and pat dry with kitchen roll.
- Dip each courgette chip into beaten egg and roll in the almond coating. Place coated courgette chips on prepared baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the courgette chips are tender and the coating is crisp and browned, about 25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking time.

Delicious! I salted and re-salted these and let them sit for a few hours while doing other things in the kitchen. I put them on a cookie cooling rack over a sheet pan so the water could drip out. I turned them and salted again. I squeezed all the extra water out with paper towels. I didn't rinse them as instructed. I I felt like that would make them wet again. I hand grated the parmesan and used nutritional yeast instead of ground almonds -not quite a half cup. My oven had been on a long time so it was nice and toasty. These came out perfectly! A delicious low carb craving satisfier! - 30 Sep 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
My family requested to have these again. They loved them! The only thing that I need to figure out is how to make them a little more firm. They got kind of soggy and they stuck to the pan so the crispy bottoms came off and stuck. - 03 Sep 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
If you are seriously counting carbs, pay attention to the recipe servings listed. This recipe is for 6 servings, so one serving would only be 3/8ths of a zucchini for 4.5 grams of carbs. Great recipe for those of us on Atkins who are missing fried junk food... - 29 Apr 2013 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
