I recently found this recipe online, while trying to figure out what to DO with zucchini. Its AMAZING and good for you!

1/4c breadcrumbs
1/4c parmesan cheese
1/4tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1/4tsp salt (I omit the salt and instead use ITALIAN seasoned breadcrumbs.)

2tbsp fat free milk (in a bowl)

1 large or 2 small zucchini

Oven proof baking rack.
Cooking Spray
Cookie sheet

Preheat oven to 425.

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a shallow bowl and mix well. Slice the zucchini evenly, about 1/4" thick. (Uneven chips will cause some to burn and others not to crisp.)

Dip the chips in the milk and then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture.

Lay the coated zucchini chips on the baking rack (allows for both sides to crisp). Place baking rack over cookie sheet to catch breadcrumbs, and place in oven for 30 minutes or until crispy.

Serve immediately. They cool quickly and are much better hot! Serving size is 1/4 of the recipe but the full recipe can serve as a GREAT snack all one their own.

Makes 4 servings (about 3/4c)
