Baked Zucchini Chips With Cool Dill Dip

Fourth of July BBQs, beach days, and picnics are just a few days away. Celebrate America and health with these spectacular chips and dip! This recipe only serves 2, so make sure to triple it as it will certainly be a grand finale crowd-pleaser!

Big celebratory days are so fun but also can be exhausting—especially if you are in the sun and water all day. Zucchini is jam-packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to stay energized. It is also high in fiber which helps with digestion and prevents unwanted GI issues. 

Ingredients:

Zucchini Chips

• 2 zucchini, thinly sliced (you can use a mandolin)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Sea salt (Celtic Grey, Himalayan pink, or Redmond Real Salt)

Dill Dip

• 1⁄2 cup canned full-fat coconut milk (I recommend Native Forest, using the thick cream from the top)
• 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Sea salt (Celtic Grey, Himalayan Pink, or Redmond Real Salt)
• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Prepare the zucchini chips: Thinly slice the zucchini, using a knife or preferably, a mandoline.
2. Blot the zucchini slices with a paper towel to absorb any excess water.
3. Place the zucchini slices on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
4. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
5. Baking options:
1.  At 225°F for 2 hours (ideal)
2. At 300°F for 1 hour
3. Dehydrate in a dehydrator at 115°F for 12 hours (overnight)
6. Prepare the dill dip: Blend together all the ingredients in a food processor, adding a little water if too thick.
