Ingredients

3 Zucchinis, rinsed
1/4 cup Parmesan, shredded
1/2 cup Bread Crumbs
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
2 Egg Whites

Preparation

1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2
Slice zucchini as thinly and uniform as possible (this is when having a mandolin comes handy).
3
Place on a paper towel for at least 10 minutes to let excess moisture drain. Mix together all the dry ingredients. In a bowl whisk the egg whites until frothy.
4
Place the zucchini in the egg mixture, then coat in the bread crumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet and when the baking sheet is full, bake for 5 minutes. Pull out the baking sheet and flip over the zucchini chips. Return to the oven for another 7 minutes.
5
Serve warm with fresh grated Parmesan cheese (optional).

About

This was a great snack that satisfied my salty-crunchy tooth! The chips are low in fat and I didn't feel guilty eating them! I did the same procedure to a yellow squash and it worked out well. I will say that I prefer them hot, when they have a nice crunch. As they cool they get a bit softer, but that's okay. Just pop them back in the oven the next day, and they are crispy. I plan on making these again, see... not everything has to be deep fried!
