Gluten Free Zucchini Chips

Gluten-Free Zucchini Chips

We have been playing around with some ideas for zucchini lately. I love this vegetable and tend to use it a lot more in the summer months. We had some leftover so Ken made a trial run with these Gluten-Free Zucchini Chips.

We have many friends that are on gluten-free diets. Some as a result of being diagnosed with celiac disease, and some because they believe that it is a healthy choice for them. Either way creating gluten-free meals has become very popular.

Snacks, on the other hand, can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. You want your snacks to be yummy but if you make them gluten-free sometimes you can lose some of that yumminess!

This is certainly not the case with this wonderful recipe! These gluten-free Zucchini chips are crazy good, and quite frankly the recipe is pretty easy to make. You are going to want to make these as a snack for game day or any day. Whether you are gluten-free or not! 

At first, they were tasty but still not crisp enough. So after some alterations, we came up with a perfectly tasty, light and crispy, simple delicious zucchini chip, and here’s how we did it.
