I love anything fried or crispy and with summer here and Independence Day right around the corner, I thought I would share three of my FAVORITE crispy treats that are a little healthier because they are all baked in the oven but still taste YUMMY!
Avocado chips are all the rage right now but they are typically fried. I decided to bake them for healthier version. Add your favorite spices or flavor to the crispy outside and you've got a treat perfect for a salad topper, as a side dish instead of french fries or just eat them right out the oven- like I do!
We eat a lot of tofu in our house and we like it nice and crispy! It is another ingredient that typically needs to be fried to get a good crisp. I've perfected my "crisping method" in the oven (coating with a light oil and baking high on both sides) so well that I will never fry tofu ever again. Serve with vegi's/rice, as an appetizer with dipping sauce or gobble them up fresh out of the oven- once again- the way that I do!
First it was kale and now crispy zucchini chips are sweeping the nation! While a little time consuming to prepare, they are a great alternative to potato chips. Serve them along side your favorite sandwich, throw them in your kids lunch box or have them handy to snack on throughout the day for a low calorie, low carb snack!

Lovely Idea
These sound amazing! I can't wait to try them and maybe share them with others :). You are a clever lady!!!
We eat a lot of tofu too. I'm going to try this. I've never thought to do the zucchini chips either.
I love that you even take the time to decorate your disposables.
Thanks for more good tips!! We love any veggie so these are perfect! I make baked kale chips!! Same idea...cut kale in pieces, oil, salt and bake until crispy!!! YUM!!!

Lovely!
The recipes look good and I love the decorated cups!
Now all we need is "your favorite dipping sauce"!
Thanks for sharing -- I've got a giant bowl full of fresh avocados and this will be a great variation!
Interesting recipes.
Talking about tofu, I actually seen where someone used it and made a type of 'french toast' with it instead of bread. Covered it in berries afterwards.
love the recipes and those bowls!
Can't wait to try these...yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Love the recipes and the awesomely decorated cups!!!!! So inspiring.
And I second the request for the dip recipes too. :)
ok....you've convinced me! I will never fry my tofu again!!! These look just delicious and really so simple, and fun with different sauces. Thanks!!
I made the zucchini chips and the tofu sticks this morning. They're delicious! I'm just going to sit down and eat them for lunch.
