Ok, I am totally guilty of this Pinterest phenomenon – pinning to pin!  I mean, there are just so many pretty, yummy, inspiring, funny things on Pinterest – it’s become quite the addiction!  The problem?  I’ve never actually done any of the DIY projects I’ve pinned, or made any of the recipe’s.  That must change immediately!

I decided to start out small with a simple side dish I’d pinned a while back.  Summer is nearly here, and in California it means amazing produce.  A quick trip to the grocery store later, three mid-size summer squash zucchini’s were all mine!  Trust me when I say that this recipe for Squash Chips is easy as pie, and soo delish.

Ingredients:

  – Squash – this works with any kind here

  – Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  – Salt

  – Pepper

  – Chili Flakes

  – Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese

Instructions:

  – Slice squash into thin rounds

  – Coat in Olive Oil

  – Move rounds to flat baking sheet – no overlapping

  – Sprinkle tops with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes to taste

  – Bake at 375 for 30 minutes until golden brown

  – Top with Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, and place under broiler for an additional 5 minutes until crispy (watch them – don’t want to burn them in the final 5 minutes!)
