If I have a little extra time for a snack, this is one of my new favorites. I've made it as a snack and as a meal and both are fantastic!! Yes, it takes much more energy than a piece of fruit, some pre-chopped veggies, or a granola bar or something. But it tastes sooooo good!!
Baked Zucchini Chips
INGREDIENTS:
1 medium-large zucchini, sliced as thin as you want (I usually do about 1/8-1/4 inch thick)
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg white
pepper to taste
non-stick cooking spray
Pre-heat over to 475 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Crack egg white into one bowl. Mix parmesan cheese and bread crumbs in a seperate bowl. Dip zucchini slices into egg whites, then breadcrumbs, coating thoroughly. Place on cookie sheet. Spray tops with non-stick spray. Bake for 5 minutes, then flip and bake another 5 minutes.
Makes 1 serving.

I dip these in 1/4-1/2 cup marinera sauce and they're delicious!! We even made them once and covered them in sauce and cheese, re-baked them, and then served them over whole wheat pasta with a side salad. (I'll have to share that recipe sometimes soon!) Delicious healthy meal!!
