Cheesy Zucchini Crisps with Chef Jack

The goal for these cheesy zucchini crisps was to have a semi-healthy snack for the boys after their first week at camp. Due to the coronavirus, it’s been since March since the boys have been in a “formal” setting among other people. While I am so grateful for the opportunity it has brought for all of us, the transition is taking a mental and physical toll. They’re exhausted from being engaged and active all day.  I’m mentally a bit spent wondering if I’m making the safest choice as their parent.

While Chef Jack wanted to make his regular cooking demos with mom, he was less pumped about the cheesy zucchini crisp recipe, and he was also tired from having his dad wake him up from his restful slumber. Rise and shine! Time to get that mask on and go to camp!

This might not have been the recipe of choice for Jack, but I chose it because we’ve been getting zucchini out the ying yang from our CSA. And, I’ve yet to find a recipe with zucchini that the boys like. So, these cheesy zucchini crisps were my latest attempt!
