Garlic Zucchini Chips

I love snacks that CRUNCH! So much that I can’t buy chips pretty much ever.  I will keep on eating handful after handful.  Geesh! I pretty much have no self-control when it comes to certain things!  Perhaps I need to work on this.  Or perhaps, I can create a fun healthy snack where it is OK to eat more!

Take my zucchini chips .  Would Dr. Oz ever tell you not to eat 2 whole zucchini for a snack?  No he would not!

A few weeks ago I was scrolling through interest, and I swear, that EVERY recipe I found required a food dehydrator.  So the next day I went to Target and purchased one.  I am so glad  I did!  I have dehydrated random things in my kitchen since!

Zucchini Chips were the first thing I wanted to make.  I always have and always will love zucchini!  I cut up 2 small zucchini into thin pieces and sprinkled a generous amount of garlic powder on them.  I then arranged them into my new food dehydrator and let them dehydrate for 24 hours.

My food dehydrator came with a guide for dehydrating different vegetables.  It advised me on how long to dehydrate each food item and what the consistency was supposed to be.  I was excited because my zucchini chips turned out to be brittle at the end of this process. Like a real chip.

I rotated my dehydrator tray every few hours.  ( not when I was sleeping though)

The next morning I woke up to these amazingly tasty crispy zucchini chips!

I stored my chips in a mason jar.  This was a great choice as you want to make sure your chips continue to stay crispy.  A plastic bag would work too.

THIS was a great guilt free crunchy snack!
