Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12-15 minutes
Total Time: 27-30 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup hard but melty cheese (such as gruyere, feta .cheddar, parmesan, swiss, or a mix of these)
Instructions
Prepare the Zucchini:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the crisps become crispy and not soggy.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, combine the grated zucchini with the grated cheese.
Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Form the Crisps:
Spoon small mounds of the zucchini and cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 tablespoon each. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to form thin, even rounds.
Bake the Crisps:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crisps are firm.
Monitor closely during the final minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.
Cool and Serve:
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the sheet for a few minutes. Gently move the crisps to a wire rack to cool down entirely.

These Zucchini Cheese Crisps combine the delicate sweetness of zucchini with the rich flavor of cheese to create a tasty and easy snack. These crisps are perfect for parties, gaming evenings, or simply as a delicious snack. Enjoy them by themselves or with your favorite dip for a taste boost!
