½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste

8. Serve hot with your favorite dip.
Notes
Don’t skip salting and drying the zucchini—it’s key for crispiness.
Use silicone liners or non-stick accessories for easy cleanup.
Pair with dips like tzatziki, ranch, or sriracha mayo for extra flavor.
