Zucchini Oven Chips

29 May

These zucchini chips were a fun and different side to go alongside some grilled chicken.  The original recipe called for plain breadcrumbs but I decided to substitute panko bread crumbs to add an extra crunch.  They were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside and would be great dipped in marinara sauce. 

Baking them on a wire rack  helped crisp both sides without needing any butter or oil.  With about 61 calories per serving (3/4 cup) they are a pretty healthy side and a great alternative to a potato or pasta dish.
