PARMESAN BASIL BAKED ZUCCHINI CHIPS
These easy, cheesy baked zucchini chips are addictive. They are perfect to serve with dinner or just as an afternoon snack. The ingredients are kept to a minimum and can be switched up based on what you have in the kitchen. In our recipe below, we make use of fresh basil, but most fresh herbs would be welcome. We particularly love dill. The cheese can be swapped out, too. Sharp cheddar or other hard cheeses work well.

ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
I love using zucchini in the summertime. This recipe reminds me of a zucchini bread my aunt makes, but I wanted to make cookies for a family get-together because they would be easier to grab and eat. These taste better if you make them the day before. -Melissa Obernesser, Oriskany, New York

Tips:
- Choose small or medium-sized zucchini for even cooking and a crispier texture.
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the zucchini evenly. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the chips from becoming soggy.
- Pat the zucchini slices dry with paper towels before coating them in oil. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
- Use a light hand when coating the zucchini slices in oil. Too much oil will make the chips greasy and soggy.
- Spread the zucchini slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the chips from cooking evenly.
- Bake the zucchini chips at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius) for a short amount of time (about 15 minutes). This will help them crisp up without overcooking.
- Season the zucchini chips with your favorite herbs and spices before baking. This will add flavor and make them more addictive.
- Let the zucchini chips cool slightly before serving. They will crisp up further as they cool.
