INGREDIENTS:

2 large zucchini, thinly sliced
1 Tbs oil
Rick's Rub Original

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 235F.
Place zucchini slices between layers of paper towel and press with baking sheet to squeeze out some of the moisture.

Bake for 1.5-2 hours until golden and crisp. Check the chips periodically to ensure they do not burn. If the chips are still flimsy, remove crisp chips from sheet and return to oven for a few more minutes.

Finish with a sprinkle of coarse salt, if desired. Allow chips to cool and store in an air-tight container.
