Get Your Crunch on with Cool Ranch Flavored Keto Zucchini Chips
Missing chips since you’ve gone keto?
Today we’re sharing a healthy keto snack that’s filled with savory flavors and still has that much-needed crunch you’ve been craving! Don’t give in and reach for that potato chip bag as these simple cool ranch keto zucchini chips will hit the spot!
Zucchini is the one vegetable I recommend always having on hand. It’s so versatile – you can use it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, side dishes, desserts, and NOW snacks. It’s a must-have that’s even kiddo-approved!
Hip tips for making the best cool ranch keto zucchini chips:
- Want to speed up the process? Use your air-fryer! Cook the zucchini chips in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 380 degrees then flip the chips and cook for an additional 5 minutes. I like to put a small wire rack on top of my chips if I cook them in the air fryer, it keeps them from flying around (this also works when cooking bacon too). I use the one that came with my Instant Pot but you can also grab one from Amazon, just be sure to get the right size for your air fryer.
- After slicing your raw zucchini into thin slices, place your chips on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt for 15 minutes to extract any moisture they may still have (this will be key to get your crispiest chip).
- Smaller zucchinis have more flavor! Stick to smaller ones when buying per pound at the grocery store so you can get the best taste while also getting the most bang for your buck.
- Don’t be afraid to change up the recipe and add your favorite spices or seasonings to give them an extra kick! I even like to sprinkle a little parmesan on mine after I pull them out of the oven. I’m thinking our homemade keto taco seasoning might even be good to use for a yummy batch of Mexican-style flavored zucchini chips!
- These keto zucchini chips are best when they’re fresh, so be sure to eat them before they go soggy after a few days.

Are you using dried parsley and dill? The kind found in the seasonings section of the grocery store? Thanks!
Hi Karen! The Parsley and Dill used were from the seasoning section. Hope that helps!
Thanks these were tasty but found them difficult to cook in an air fryer.. the thin chips kept flying around and bunching up so I’ll try them in the oven next time.
Thanks for your feedback on how well this recipe worked for you, Del99!
The popcorn seasoning seems great but it has corn syrup, sugar ,and corn protein. I’m confused this isn’t really allowed on keto
Thanks so much for your feedback. You could also use the seasoning blend we use in our Ranch dip, instead. https://hip2keto.com/recipes/best-keto-homemade-ranch-dip/ Hope this helps!
Well that’s a drag, I just bought it and now have to remove since I didn’t know there was all of that crap in it… why would you recommend something that is not keto on a keto recipe? 🙁
You can still use it. It depends on how you do keto. Everyone does it a little differently. Here’s some explanations for you: https://hip2keto.com/tips/what-are-the-differences-between-dirty-keto-clean-keto/
On the oven method is the olive oil used in addition to egg wash or in place of it?
That would be in place of the egg wash. Olive oil browns up very nice!
