Description
It all started with a summer zucchini overload and zero desire for more bread. A quick slice, a pantry raid, and a prayer to the snack gods later—crispy, golden zucchini chips were born. These addictive little rounds are now a family favorite. Light, cheesy, and oven-baked to perfection, they’re the chip that makes veggies the hero. Grab your zucchini and let’s make some crunch magic!
