::zucchini:chips::

I am obviously obsessing over foods that are deep fried and trying to find substitutes for them. Nothing beats the pickles but I saw this recipe as well and decided to share with those that don't like pickles but maybeee zucchini??
So here is a recipe for this squash-family veggie dredged in breadcrumbs and thrown in the oven as well. The picture is pretty mouth-watering and I am intrigued by the addition of the parmesan cheese.
Bon Appetit!

1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup {1 ounce} grated fresh Parmesan cheese
