How I make my guilt free zucchini squash chips

Hey guys! It’s Feature Friday time and you know every now and then I like to mix things up. You all seem to be quite fond of my easy to make healthy recipes so I will continue to deliver. This past week I decided to try something new (naturally). Truth be told I’ve never been much of a chip person; unless I’m having a sandwich, I must have chips! But I know many people who love to snack on chips any time of day. So, seeing how many are watching their carbs and sugar these days, I decided to share this easy low carb recipe I found on Pinterest. Of course, I have to revamp things and make it my way. So, for anyone who loves a nice crunch of a chip but without the guilt, today I’ll tell you how I make my guilt free Zucchini squash chips!

Instructions

Preheat oven @ 425 degrees
Rinse off the zucchini
Using the cutting board and a sharp cutting knife, slice the zucchini in thin 1/8-inch slices
Take a baking sheet and lay a sheet of parchment paper on top.
Neatly place the zucchini slices on the baking tray. (Depending on how big your zucchini squash is, you may need to spread the slices on 2 baking trays)
Next, sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
Lastly, take about ½ c. (or 1 small handful) of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle on top of the tray of zucchini. Repeat this same step with the sharp cheddar cheese too.
Place the tray(s) in the oven on the middle rack. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes.
Wait until the cheese is dark golden brown before removing from the oven. You can wait 5 minutes extra until the cheese is browning or dark for extra crispy texture. (I like mine this way)
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes before removing chips from the tray with a spatula and plating. Serves 1-2 people.
Enjoy your crispy zucchini chips as a nice afternoon snack without the guilt or extra carbs!
