stop, drop & cook.

September 28, 2011

I was reading blogs this morning and saw Summer's post on zucchini chips.

"Rad," I thought, starring it for later and making a mental note to pick up zucchini at the grocery store tomorrow.

Then I realized I had everything for these in my kitchen.

And for the first time ever, I got up from the computer and whipped up a recipe immediately after I saw it. These took about two minutes of prep time. I don't have a dehydrator, so I just stuck them in the oven at 190*F for about an hour and a half. I am sure I could have shortened that time by just baking them instead of drying them, but this worked for me and they were super good.

Thanks, Summer.

Nice. I always forget that my dehydrator can be used for making veggie chips. I tend to stick to using it for drying herbs and tomatoes, but really need to expand my uses.

This sounds fab! I wonder though if you didn’t “dry” them slowly in an oven or a dehydrator, if you tried to bake them at a higher temp, would they get mushy? I’ve never had luck cooking zucc’s without mush. I wonder what the difference would be?
