Skinny Zucchini Chips

I have missed the Dish On College Cooking! These past couple of weeks have been extremely hectic. Between finals, getting ready to head up north for an internship, moving into a new apartment, I have been running around like a mad women. It has also taken me a couple of days to get into a new routine at the new apartment (especially the kitchen-- of which I LOVE!) I finally have more space to cook!

I want to cook all sorts of things but, my boyfriend and his close friends are big into body building and body physique and have a physique competition this weekend. With that said they have an extremely strict diet and I have been told not to make anything tempting to eat until after their show. Come Sunday, I will finally be able to cook up some of my healthy favorites and ditch the plain extra lean ground turkey meals for a little while. THANK THE LORD!

I was having blogger withdrawals so while everyone was out of the apartment today, I thought I would use my new mandoline slicer, that I got on sale at Marshalls for only 7.50! Who doesn't love a deal? I recommend using a mandoline slicer for zucchini chips, because the slicer will cut the zucchini into the same width and cook more evenly.

I was able to make two batches out of one zucchini-- I made the first batch spicy with Penzey's Chipotle Ground Red Seasoning and the second batch salty with Penzey's Fox Point Seasoning (my all time favorite). These chips were so yummy, easy to make, and better for you than a bag of Lay's Potato Chips, and like Lay's-- I bet you can't eat just one!

So yummyyyyy!
Be careful! I sliced my finger... Mental note, get band aids.



Ingredients:

1 Zucchini

1 TSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Seasoning of your choice (I vow by Penzey)

To-do

1) Place your oven on broil.

2) Use a Mandoline Slicer or cutting knife and slice the zucchini into thin slices (3mm).

3) Place the olive oil, zucchini, and seasoning of choice into a mixing bowl until the oil is spread throughout.

4) Lay the seasoned zucchini on a well spread cooking sheet. You can add more seasoning if you'd like. 

5) Place in the oven, keep a close watch-- I have learned this the hard way multiple times... You do not want burned zucchini chips! Yuck! 

6) Take the chips out once they are a golden brown-- some might be burned (thats okay, they are still delicious!)

Enjoyyy!
