Ingredients

2. Slice zucchini into thin circles.
3. Dab-dry the zucchini with a paper towel.
4. Toss the zucchini slices with olive oil and some salt in a bowl until they are fully oiled.
5. Arrange the zucchini slices on a baking sheet so they can bake evenly. *NOTE: Use parchment paper instead of placing directly on sheet so your zucchini slices will not stick.
6. Bake for 1 hour, flip, and then bake for 1 more hour. The zucchini should become dry and chip-like.
7. Allow cooling before serving. 

Serving size is 1 zucchini (half the batch). Along with the nutritional information listed below, zucchini are a great source of vitamins A and B6, niacin, magnesium and folate! So enjoy these chips and get nourished while you do!
