Ingredients
2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/8-in. rounds
Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Spray
Vitacost Himalayan Pink Salt, to taste
Simply Organic Black Pepper, to taste
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 230 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with wire cooling racks and top with parchment paper (the racks help with air circulation during baking).
2. Dab zucchini rounds with towel to absorb extra moisture.
3. Lay rounds on top of parchment paper, leaving enough space in between them so they will crisp up nicely.
4. Spray tops of zucchini rounds lightly with oil and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper (they will shrink up so don’t over season).
5. Bake for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, flipping half way between. Check frequently to make sure smaller rounds don’t burn. Remove if needed.
6. Once golden brown and crispy, remove from oven and let cool. Chips will continue to crisp as they cool down.
