Zucchini chips

Sometimes you come across a recipe that surprises you. This is one of those. I made these with my girls, as this seems to make them both a little braver when it comes to trying the final result. Really recipes don’t come much easier than this (well there is this great coconut biscuit recipe and these amazing pancakes that might beat these chips in the easy stakes). 

When these were ready to eat we all loved them, even my fussy youngest. I was busy making plans in my head about serving these at dinner and birthday parties, I didn’t even think about future kids dinners. I was very excited about these. Both adult and kids would love these. I also think they look rather attractive as well, so they are perfect for social gatherings. You do need to eat them straight away, before they get all soggy. Please try these and let me know what you think.
