Many breaded zucchini chip recipes call for eggs, milk, or other ingredients that aren't vegan. But you don't actually need animal products in order to make a tasty breaded zucchini chip snack.Â
Here's an easy way to make breaded and baked zucchini chips without dairy or eggs—completely vegan. In this recipe, you can use regular breadcrumbs or, if you prefer something a little bit lighter, try using panko breadcrumbs instead. These breaded zucchini chips can be either baked in the oven or lightly pan-fried in a bit of oil—it's up to you and how healthy you want them to be.
You may want to use seasoned salt for a recipe like this, which needs an extra savory flavor boost. However, some brands of seasoned salt contain MSG (monosodium glutamate). If that's something which is important for you to avoid, check for a brand that doesn't contain MSG, or, swap out the seasoned salt for another of your favorite spice blends.Â

- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 zucchini (sliced 1/2 inch thick)
- 1/3 cup soy milk (or another vegan milk substitute)

Recipe Variations
- These breaded and oven-baked zucchini chips are great on their own, but if you're cooking for kids, you might want to serve them up with a bit of ranch dressing.
- If you prefer, you can also pan-fry these little zucchini chips in a bit of oil over medium-high heat. You'll need about 4 to 5 minutes on each side to get them nicely browned and crisped.Â
