Zucchini Chips
Ingredients:
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- Kosher salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with silicon baking mats or parchment paper
- Slice your zucchini into thin slices
- Press slices between paper towels to remove excess moisture
- Arrange zucchini slices in single layers on baking sheets
