Ingredients

  • Fresh Zucchini
  • Salt
  • Saltine Crackers
  • Eggs
  • Butter
  • Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Begin by slicing a zucchini into thin slices.
  • Line the slices up in a single layer on a cutting board and lightly sprinkle with salt. This will pull the extra moisture out while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a gallon-size bag, crush the saltine crackers into crumbs that are not fine crumbs but small crumbs.
  • Crack a couple of eggs into a small bowl and whisk them well.
  • Heat a frying pan to medium low to medium heat.
  • While the pan is heating, pat the zucchini dry with a paper towel pressing down on the slices to squeeze out extra moisture.
  • Add the butter and olive oil to the pan.
  • Dip the sliced zucchini in the egg mixture first, then the cracker crumbs.
  • Add a single layer to the frying pan and cook until golden brown on the bottom.
  • Flip them over and cook the other side.
  • Remove the crispy chips from the frying pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels!
  • TIP - For a little something extra, sprinkle the hot tops with a little parmesan cheese!
  • Carefully wipe out the frying pan, add more butter and olive oil to your frying pan, and repeat.
