I actually had no intention of making chips when I bought that pound of Zucchini the other day. My actual plans involved a lot of zoodles – zucchini noodles that is.
I tried them for the first time last week, and really liked them. Moreover, they were quite perfect for my low-carb dinner lifestyle. I could basically have a lot of noodles without having to worry about carbs at all, so I stocked up.
And then when I repeated that same recipe 2 nights ago, lets just say things changed. Changed a lot.
So I looked up some better ways to use up a lot of zucchini, and these Baked Zucchini Chips were just what I needed!
The zucchini did shrink quite a bit, so I got to have even more veggies in just one serving! And that too as spicy crispy chips. Total win-win!
