Not Your Average Oven-Fried Zucchini Chips

It is always a sign I have a recipe superstar when:

1. I forget to take a picture before eating half of the food.
2. David eats another handful ((a long-time hater of squash-like foods)) muttering mmm’s all the way out the door.
3. I have to ‘hide’ it from myself for fear of eating every last bite. (Hey, healthy or not – that can’t be good for the ‘winter-coat shed of 2014!’)

This zucchini is just a few pantry staples away from awesomeness! Panko, Old Bay, dry Hidden Valley & Grey Poupon ((pardon me)) are 4 things that I keep on hand. When used in combination: they create a powerhouse of flavors.

Here are a few tips that will help make this recipe ‘be all it can be’:

1. Thinly sliced zucchini is the best.
2. Just a few ‘squirts’ of canola oil is all that’s needed ((too much oil = soggy))
3. Do not leave out the Dijon (it’s where the magic happens).

 Toss to evenly coat & lay out in a single layer on parchment lined baking sheets.

Ingredients

1. 2-1/2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
2. 1 heaping T Dijion mustard
3. 1 scant T dry ranch seasoning
4. 1 t Old Bay seasoning
5. 1-2 t canola oil
6. 2/3 to 1 c Panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a medium mixing combine Dijon mustard and canola oil. Add ranch & Old Bay, stirring until mixed. Toss zucchini chips in the seasoning mix until evenly coated. Add Panko to the zucchini and toss again - making sure the Panko is evenly coated.*
2. Place breaded zucchini on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets in a SINGLE layer.
3. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes until medium golden brown & crisp.

Notes

1. *There may be some coating at the bottom of the mixing bowl once the zucchini is placed on the baking sheets. That is fine, just sprinkle it over the zucchini before placing it in the oven.
