Baked Zucchini Chips

i love zucchini but often run into a road block with its possibilities; it's such an easy, healthy side dish but i always end up making my tried & true go-to, {tuscan-style slice & dice zucchini}. while it is one of my favorites, i decided i needed to reinvent & reinvigorate my love of the zuc.

so on a rainy monday night, i tried my hand at these "chips"! not only are they low in calories, they are the perfect alternative to greasy fries. and hey, if my husband loved them, i can guarantee kids will too!
