Cackalackin’ Oven ‘Fried’ Zucchini Chips

Cackalackin’ Oven ‘Fried’ Zucchini Chips – Recipe Serves 4

Admittedly, I've been a bit obsessed with the zucchini lately. I think this is justifiable considering how tasty and versatile the zucchini is! One minute it served slowly stewed with onions, the next you are twirling it on your fork like a noodle, and today it is a crispy and delicious chip. Get ready for oven ‘fried’ no oil (NO OIL!) zucchini chips. Let’s face it I’d rather get my calories from cheese than oil any day! These are great served with marinara dipping sauce.
