Squash is high in antioxidants and vitamin C and a good source of manganese, a mineral that helps the body process fats, carbohydrates, and glucose. This chip will squash any traditional packaged “chip” out there.
Ingredients
- 3 medium yellow squash or zucchini
- Coconut oil spray or regular coconut oil
- Dash of salt
- Dash of garlic powder
- Dash of Parmesan cheese (optional)
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C, or gas mark 8). Grease or spray a baking sheet with coconut oil.
- Slice the squash into thin chips of a consistent thickness. A mandolin slicer will help greatly here.
- Lay the squash flat on the baking sheet. Coat the squash chips with oil. Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, and cheese, if desired.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until they start to brown, and then turn the chips. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until they start to brown. Turn off the heat and let the chips sit in the oven for an hour.
- Check on them periodically so they don’t burn. Letting them sit will help them to crisp, but if you don’t have time to wait, just bake them an additional 5 to 7 minutes until they are brown.
