RECIPE: Zucchini Chips

Difficulty Level: EASY 

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 mins

Ingredients:
1 large zucchini
2 tbsp. olive oil
Kosher salt

Note: you'll need a mandolin for this recipe...

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets (e.g. two 17" baking sheets) with silicon baking mats or parchment paper.

2. Slice your zucchini on a mandolin. Mine had 1, 2, or 3 for thickness and I used 2.

3. After you slice your zucchini, place the slices on a sheet of paper towels and take another paper towel and sandwich the zucchini slices and press on them. This helps draw out the liquid so it'll cook a bit faster.

4. Line up the zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet tightly next to each other in a straight line, making sure not to overlap them.

5. In a small bowl, pour your olive oil in and take a pastry brush to brush the olive oil on each zucchini slice.

6. Sprinkle salt throughout the baking sheet. Do NOT over-season, in fact, it's better to use less salt initially because the slices will shrink; so if you over-season, it'll be way too salty! You can always add more later.

7. Bake for 2+ hours until they start to brown and aren't soggy and are crisp.

8. Let cool before removing and serving.

9. Keep in an airtight container for no more than 3 days.
