Zucchini Chips

If you enjoy spicy food then these chips are for you, they have a kick.  If not, just cut back on the amount of cayenne and black pepper.  These are great with ranch dressing and can be served as a side dish or appetizer.

Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt in a shallow dish and set aside.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Dredge the zucchini chips in the buttermilk mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture giving each side of the zucchini a light coating of breadcrumbs.
