Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini medium, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions

  • Use a Julienne Vegetable Peeler and cut zucchini into thin strings.
  • Add strings to a mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt, gently tossing to combine. Place double paper towels on a large baking sheet, spread out strings, and let set for 15 minutes. This will remove some of the excess water.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Return strings to mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Spread strings evenly over a nonstick or parchment-lined baking sheet. Stir every 10 minutes and continue to bake until crispy, approximately 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle parmesan cheese over strings and bake 1-2 more minutes. Discard any strings that are overly brown. Allow to cool at room temperature. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
  • Enjoy as a snack or add to salads and soups.
