Salt and Pepper Zucchini Chips.

Raw zucchini slices on dehydrator trays…

Crispy and ready to eat!

 

I swore once before that I would stop trying to find ways to make snackable chips in the dehydrator but I apparently can’t help myself lol.  These were actually better than most but I’m still not convinced.  Found the original recipe at www.frugalfreebiesanddeals.com.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (about 4 cups) thin sliced zucchini
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

• In a medium bowl whisk salt, pepper, olive oil, and vinegar.
• Add sliced zucchini.
• Toss with the “dressing” to coat.
• Arrange slices on dehydrator trays.
• Dehydrate 5-6 hours or until crispy.

Notes:

• So I ate one, thought about it, and actually ate a second one before I decided that these weren’t that great.  Guess it was better than the great potato chip experiment in which I actually spit the first chip out!  They aren’t bad, they were definitely crunchy, the taste just didn’t do it for me.  So I would say that this isn’t a recipe that you should completely avoid – it may just be a matter of personal taste.
• I would definitely recommend using a mandolin or similar type of slicer, I used the thinnest setting on mine.  I can imagine that if you sliced the zucchini by hand that it would be very difficult to dry out completely.
