Zucchini Chips

I made the decision to start simply, so I found a few large zucchinis in the fridge and began to experiment. In the mood for snacking food, I decided it would be best to slice the zucchini thin, and make chips! However, I am a coxswain, and I owe it to my rowers not to fry the chips...I guess... hah

ANYWAY, so I sliced the zucchini thin and dipped each sliced into a bowl of egg-whites. I lightly coated each slice in bread-crumbs, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and then baked the slices on each side for a few minutes.

WHA-LAH!!! My first adventure in the kitchen was a success! I made healthy, non-fattening zucchini chips that were crispy, but just thick enough to really exhibit the delicious zucchini quality.

The zucchini chips were so good that when my parents tasted them, they walked away with the bowl...leaving me without my snack... The good news is that my mom had me make them for company when she made dinner for some family friends, and the chips were a huge hit!

They took less than 20 minutes to make, and were not too messy. Also, they ended up DELICIOUS. I suggest to you, reader, that you try them: especially you coxswains out there!
