Oven Baked Zucchini Chips

We’ve seen a lot of zucchini come in and out of the warehouse this summer (in fact, over 220K lbs of squash has come through in the past year). Here’s one of our favorite ways to eat zucchini. Think of it like fried zucchini’s healthier cousin, offering lots of flavor and less guilt. Bonus: it’s a hit with kids too!
