Ingredients

2 Medium Zucchini/Squash (I used one green and one yellow)
1 Cup Cornstarch
Frying Oil (Canola, Peanut, or Vegetable)

Instructions

Slice zucchini squash into ¼ - ⅛ " slices using a mandolin or sharp knife.
Generously sprinkle salt onto both sides of zucchini slices and lay on a paper towel for 10 minutes.
Wipe off as much salt as possible using a damp paper towel so your slices are not too salty! Use a dry paper towel to soak up any extra water on both sides.
Dip slices into cornstarch and drop into fryer/saucepan a few at a time.
Flip slices after a few minutes so both sides get golden brown. Remove after color is achieved and let drain on paper towels. Taste test one right away to see if it needs more salt. If so, sprinkle with salt while still hot.
Serve warm with tzatziki sauce on the side!

Notes

Make sure you remove as much salt as possible or your chips will be too salty! A damp paper towel works best for this.

Make ahead! Fry the chips ahead of time and keep warm in the oven at a low setting. (200 degrees F)
