Description

Imagine a plate of vibrant, golden-brown zucchini slices, each transformed into a crispy chip, the perfect canvas for a symphony of flavors. These aren't your typical nachos; they're a lighter, more wholesome take on a classic comfort food, offering a delightful crunch that satisfies without the guilt. The journey begins with fresh zucchini, carefully sliced to achieve the ideal thickness – thin enough to crisp up beautifully, yet sturdy enough to hold a generous topping.

A sprinkle of salt coaxes out excess moisture, ensuring that each chip achieves maximum crispness during the cooking process. The zucchini slices are then gently fried in oil until they turn a lovely shade of gold and develop a satisfying snap. The frying process transforms the zucchini, mellowing its natural flavor and creating a slightly sweet undertone that complements the savory seasoning to come.

Speaking of seasoning, a carefully balanced blend of spices adds depth and complexity to these unique chips. The spice mixture infuses the zucchini with warm, earthy notes, a touch of gentle heat, and a savory richness that awakens the palate. The aroma alone is enough to tempt your taste buds!

Now, imagine these crispy, seasoned zucchini chips piled high and drizzled with a luscious, creamy cheese sauce. The combination of textures and temperatures is simply divine – the cool, smooth cheese against the warm, crunchy chips creates a truly irresistible sensation. Alternatively, you can savor the unadulterated flavor of the zucchini chips on their own.

They are an excellent snack. However you choose to enjoy them, it's best to consume them immediately after cooking to experience their full crispy glory. Letting them sit will cause them to soften slightly, diminishing their appeal.

So gather around, grab a chip, and enjoy the delightful crunch and satisfying flavors of these unique zucchini chips!

Instructions

    1.
    Wash the zucchini well and dry it. Slice the zucchini on a mandolin into thin slices, about 1/8" thickness. A Japanese-style mandolin works best due to its sharpness.
    2.
    Place the slices into a colander and salt it with ½ tsp sea salt. Allow the zucchini slices to sit for 5-7 minutes until you see water coating the slices. This process helps them crisp up during frying and seasons them.
    3.
    Heat ½ cup of avocado oil in a small saucepan until hot, about 350-375°F. Fry about 10-15 zucchini slices at a time, turning if necessary, until dark brown and crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining slices.
    4.
    Combine all the dry seasonings into a small bowl. Once all the chips are fried, sprinkle them with the taco seasoning to taste. Serve immediately for maximum crispness.
