Zucchini Chips


This may not be a perfect ratatouille but these Zucchini Chips are light, low in calories and pretty tasty!

There’s no mystery about this delicate squash but there seems to be some kind of magic, because when added to other things like a Chocolate Zucchini Cake, you find yourself eating something healthy and not even know it because you can’t taste it and sometimes that’s a great thing, especially when you have picky eaters who hate vegetables…

And there are other times when this hybrid of the cucumber can just stand alone and be the star.  That’s the case with these crunchy and nutty zucchini chips.  With just 61 calories per serving, this is the ideal way to eat something healthy.
