Tips for Success
- Dry zucchini is key. Too much moisture and the crisps won’t, well, crisp!
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Grate your own parmesan for the best melting and texture.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or crushed red pepper flakes to the mix.
