Recently, a friend of mine made hummus and brought it to work so I could try. It was delicious and while I was eating it (with carrot sticks) I kept thinking how I would love to scoop it up with some potato chips. Then I started craving potato chips. Dang you, hummus for making me crave potato chips.
However, it did get me to thinking... Recently, I had seen some different versions of baked zucchini chips floating around and I just happen to have some zucchini on hand. Why not make my own awesomely healthy version of a chip? My own zucchini chip with less the fatness and more the flavor!
Baked Zucchini Chips
Ingredients
1 Zucchini
Seasoning (any flavor that fits your fancy)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees and line pan with non stick foil.
2. Thinly slice zucchini and arrange the slices on the pan. Season. I used a Jalapeno seasoning because I am from the South and I love hotness!
3. I baked for an hour and then checked on them. Some were completely dehydrated and "chip-like" so I removed those and continued baking the rest until they were done. Thicker slices take longer to cook. of course, so I suggest trying to slice the zucchini as thin as possible.
These were great and totally reminded me of eating a chip. I did not have any hummus to dip it into,that will probably be my next venture!
Question: What is your favorite flavor potato chip? (I want to try to recreate different versions of the zucchini chip!)
Some websites I researched before preparing the zucchini chip on my own:

I'm not a fan of zucchini, wonder if I would like it as a chip? My fav is Salt and Vinegar, not sure if that would make a good zucchini chip or not!
ReplyDeleteI have actually thought about making that flavor... Maybe soaking the zucchini in some vinegar beforehand and then sprinkling salt over it before baking. If I try it, I will definitely let you know how it turned out!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is BBQ, any ideas on how to re-create that in a zucchini chip?
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me Krystal! I am going to try making a BBQ variety next! :)
DeleteHave you tried salt and vinegar yet? I am anxious to know if that works?
ReplyDeleteI haven't, it is still on my "to-do list". The salt/vinegar AND the BBQ flavor.
DeleteI wasn't a fan of zuchini until I learned to make zucchini chips. Lots of interesting flavor variations can be made with sauces and marinades. My first batch of hot and sour zucchini chips turned out good, but the next batch will be hotter! Marinading in lime juice before drying adds a lot to the flavor.
ReplyDeleteive made Jerk Zuchini chips and OldBay Zuchini chips! delish!
