13 Chip Recipes

For whatever reason, I love making chips. Most of these recipes are healthy (veggies and fruit), a few of them no so much (hello, pepperoni chips), but all of them are delicious!

1. Zucchini Chips
Ever since I discovered zucchini chips (and it's been a couple of years), I eat them almost every day. That's how much I love them.



2. Yellow Squash Chips
These taste exactly like zucchini chips, so if they grocery store is out of zucchini, just pick up a couple of yellow squash.



3. Cucumber Chips
I don't like cucumbers, but I do like cucumber chips.



4. Kale Chips
I've recently rediscovered the kale chips. They remind me a lot of potato chips, just healthier.



5. Potato Chips
These are a thousand times better than greasy store-bought chips.



6. Carrot Chips
Sweet and healthy don't usually go together, but they are a match made in heaven with these carrot chips.



7. Parsnip Chips
These are kind of like a nutty potato chips.



8. Apple Chips
I made these every autumn. Eric just loves them.



9. Banana Chips
Another one of Eric's favorites.



10. Pepperoni Chips
On to the not so healthy chips. I'm going to be honest, these things are way too salty for my taste buds. However, my husbands can't stop eating them. You can also substitute salami for the pepperoni. if you so desire.




11. Pita Chips
I have gotten so many people hooked on these through the years. They are perfect with hummus.



12. Tortilla Chips
I think the thing I like most about these tortilla chips is that I can control the salt on them. Whenever we buy tortilla chips, they are always too salty for me.

13. Cinnamon-Sugar Chips
Oh my god, these things are addicting! I'm not allowed to making them too often because they are so good that I can devour them in one sitting.



Enjoy!

Cucumber Chips

So my in-laws' vegetable garden produced an abundance of giant cucumbers. They kindly shared their bounty with us. But I don't like cucumbers. Eric does, but he has only eaten them in salads. Even Eric couldn't eat enough salads to use up three huge cucumbers. So I got creative. Rather Eric did. Since I like to make veggies into chips, he suggested cucumber chips.

Well, I finally found a cucumber I like. Eric liked them too. I seasoned mine with lemon pepper seasoning, but you could use plain old salt and pepper, garlic powder, or if you want something spicy, cayenne powder.

Ingredients:
Cucumber (I've found that smaller cucumbers work better)
Seasoning of choice
Cooking spray

Directions:
Line a microwave-safe plate with waxed paper and spray generously with cooking spray.

With a mandoline slice your cucumber into rounds that are just a step above paper thin (I use the second setting on my mandoline). If you make your slices too thick, they won't crisp. 

Place your cucumber slices in a single layer on the plate. Sprinkle seasoning over the cucumber.
On high power, microwave for 4 to 6 minutes. Allow the chips to rest for 1 minute. Microwave for another 2 to 3 minutes or until light brown spots appear on the chips. Keep in mind each microwave cooks differently. My chips turned out best when cooked for 4 minutes then 3 minutes.

Remove from microwave. Beware, the plate will be very hot. Serve right away. Chips do not keep.

Enjoy!
