I am always looking for fun new snacking ideas, and because I follow a low carbohydrate lifestyle – for the most part! – chips are usually a no-go for me. One of the things I love about doing a low carb diet is that I can have cheese…lots and lots of cheese, just so long as it’s a natural cheedar with minimal processing, which is the kind I prefer anyway! This Cheddar Zucchini Crisps Recipe is a fun twist on a low carb chip, and they taste amazing even if you aren’t following a low carb diet!
Don’t they look yummy? I love zucchini, and of course, I also love cheese, so this recipe makes me very happy! I have something to snack on and I don’t have to worry about using up all of my carbs for the day on junk. Plus…it’s a serving of veggies AND dairy, so I don’t have to feel guilty either!
This is one of the easiest low carb snacks you could possibly make, it all mixes up in one simple bowl…
Next I’ll have to try my hand at making that internet-famous cauliflower pizza…
If you give this Cheddar Zucchini Crisps Recipe a try, I’d love to hear what you think!

Cheddar Zucchini Crisps Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 C. grated zucchini - drained I press my grated zucchini between paper towels but you could also use cheese cloth

- 1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes more if you like spicy, less if you're not a fan
Instructions

Combine the shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese and red pepper flakes.
-
Use a small tablespoon to scoop the mixture onto your baking sheets, gently using your fingers to press down into thin rounds.
-
Bake 9-10 minutes in the oven.

Remove from the oven and serve warm. The crisps will firm up after they begin to cool.
