Yellow Squash Chips

Is there really a difference between zucchini and yellow squash? Other than color, that is. Both are summer squash. When it comes to taste and texture they are pretty much identical. That kind of makes this recipe redundant--I already have two different zucchini chip recipes (parmesan zucchini bites and zucchini chips 2.0). But I figured what the hell. I was making it for lunch and thought I'd share. Who knows, someone might have yellow squash in their fridge and never think of making it into chips because you always hear about zucchini chips, not squash chips. So here is a yellow summer squash chip recipe! And to make them even more convenient, they're made in the microwave!

Okay, for the ultimate healthy snack, squash chips with hummus. Sooo yummy.

Ingredients:
Yellow summer squash
Cooking spray
Seasonings*

Directions:
Slice the yellow squash into thin slices using a mandolin. Place a sheet of wax paper on a microwave-safe plate and spray it generously with cooking spray. Place the zucchini slices on the plate in a single layer. Season to taste.

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. Mine turn out best when cooked for 4 minutes then 2.5 minutes.

*My favorite combo is garlic powder and onion salt. But they're also good with grated parmesan, just salt and pepper, or a sprinkling of cayenne pepper and chilli powder.

Enjoy!
