Crispy Tabasco Zucchini Chips

Ingredients

  • 4 zucchini, sliced thin and evenly (I used the #2 thickness setting on my mandoline)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon original Tabasco sauce
  • Salt, to taste

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Press the zucchini slices firmly between sheets of paper towels. Do this 3 times to press out as much water as possible.
  • Place the zucchini slices in a single layer on the baking sheets. Use additional baking sheets if necessary.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and the Tabasco. Brush the mixture onto the tops of the zucchini slices, lightly. Too much oil will prevent them from crisping up.
  • Arrange the baking sheets in the oven and cook for 2 1/2 hours or until golden brown and crisped, turning half-way through. If your zucchini do not fully crisp up, press them again with paper towels to remove any excess moisture and return to the oven until crisp.
  • Salt generously and serve.
