β²οΈ Since oven temperatures vary, start checking for browning after 10 minutes and remove slices as they become crispy.
π§ Salting the zucchini before baking is crucial to remove moisture and achieve crispiness.
π₯‘ Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days; reheat uncovered at 350Β°F to restore crispiness.
