Crispy Baked Yellow Squash Chips--Healthy snacks

Veggie Chips...yummy

Summer is finally here!  Summer in California not only means beautiful beach and pool days it also means that zucchini and a variety of summer squash are finally in season and not getting shipped to us from some other country. 

What you will need:
  • 2-3 yellow squash 
  • Coconut oil cooking spray 
  • Garlic salt
  • Pepper
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
  2. Wash and slice your yellow squash super thin (the thinner the better). 
  3.  Place the sliced yellow squash in between two sheets of paper towels and press down to adsorb any excess liquid.
  4. Place your sliced yellow squash onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Try to give each little slice it's own space and if you need to use more than one baking sheet do so. 
  5. Lightly spray the sliced chips with coocnut cooking spray. 
  6. Sprinkle a little garlic salt and pepper on top. 
  7. Bake for two hours.  At the end of the one hour mark flip the chips.  You want to bake until each chip is nice and crispy.  Keep an eye on your batch of chips and remove the chips that crisp faster and keep the ones in that are still a tab bit wet until they have achieved the ultimate chip like consistency.
  8. Let them cool and enjoy! 
* These are the freshest right out of the oven and are best eaten right away and not made to store.
