Try this at Home: Zucchini Chips*

*Parents will need to help make this due to either prepping or cooking instructions*

1-2 Zucchinis

1 Cup of Flour

1 Cup of Panko or Bread Crumbs

3 Large Eggs

Vegetable Oil for Frying

1. Preheat oil to about 350 degrees over medium-high heat.

2. Cut the Zucchini into chips about 1/4 inch thick.

3. Dredge the zucchini chips. Toss them in flour, soak them in the egg, and then toss them in the breading.

4. Repeat Step 3 until the chips have been prepped and placed to the side before frying.

5. Carefully place them into the hot oil, a few at a time, until then begin to turn golden.

6. Remove from the oil in batches placing them on paper towel or parchment paper.

7. *Optional* Sprinkle parsley and Parmesan cheese over the chips before eating

*Served best with ranch or marinara sauce for dipping*
