Ingredients

• 1 (large) zucchini, cut into 1/8" - 1/4" slices


• 1/3 cup whole grain breadcrumbs, optional Panko (homemade breadcrumb recipe)


• 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, reduced fat


• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


• Kosher or sea salt to taste


• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder


• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper


• 3 tablespoons low-fat milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Combine in a small mixing bowl, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Dip zucchini slices into milk and dredge into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Note: It may be necessary to press crumbs onto zucchini slices to ensure the crumbs stick.

Arrange zucchini on a non-stick cookie sheet and lightly mist with a non-stick cooking spray. We use Misto Olive Oil Sprayer. Or, place zucchini on a wire rack sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

If using a rack, place rack on a cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes, turn over and continue baking until golden, approximately 10-15 minutes (being careful not to burn). Allow to cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container.

NOTE: Zucchini Chips will continue to get crispier while cooling.

NOTE: For gluten free chips, use gluten-free bread crumbs.
