Curbing Cravings: Chip Alternatives

Crispy Zucchini Chips

"The trouble is, you cannot grow just one zucchini. Minutes after you plant a single seed, hundreds of zucchini will barge out of the ground and sprawl around the garden, menacing the other vegetables. At night, you will be able to hear the ground quake as more and more zucchinis erupt" -Dave Barry

While Zucchini may not be everyones favourite veggie, it can be very versatile in its uses. These Zucchini chips helped me get past a lot of my midnight cravings of salty chips. It satisfies the crunch and the salt all-in-one. Super easy to make and can even be done in an airfryer!
