Zucchini Chips
Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
Ingredients
 2 medium sized zucchinis
 1 egg
 4 egg whites
 1 ½ cups whole-wheat breadcrumbs
 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
 pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Thinly slice zucchini into ⅛” round pieces.
2. Beat egg and egg whites in a shallow bowl.
3. Using a small food processor (or a mortar and pestle) process the
breadcrumbs, grated cheese, and a couple dashes of pepper together until
fine. Put the breadcrumb mixture in a shallow bowl.
4. Pour 1 tsp of olive oil or using cooking spray in the bottom of a medium to
large sauté pan and turn the heat to medium. Let it heat up while you start
preparing the zucchini.
5. Make an assembly line in the following order: raw zucchini slices, beaten
egg, breadcrumb mixture, and empty plate.
6. With one hand (which will be your “wet” hand) coat a few of the zucchini
slices with the egg and shake off the excess. Drop those pieces on top of
the breadcrumb mixture and using your other “dry” hand coat them with
breadcrumbs. Shake off the excess breadcrumbs and transfer the coated
zucchini slices to the clean plate.
7. As soon as you have enough zucchini slices breaded to make a single layer
across the bottom of the pan, slide them in the oil to start cooking.
8. Meanwhile, start coating the next batch of zucchini, but check the stove
after 2 or 3 minutes to see if the bottom of the zucchini is turning golden
brown. Once they are brown flip them over and add more olive oil if
necessary to keep the bottom of the breaded zucchini “wet.” Once both
sides are golden brown transfer them to a paper towel lined plate and keep
warm.
9. Repeat process until all the zucchini are cooked. Arrange them on a
serving platter, garnish with Parmesan cheese, and enjoy!
