Do you ever wish veggies could taste like pizza?!? These crisps do. The zucchini has a mild flavor; a perfect vehicle for the cheesy tomato goodness! These crispy bites will have you enjoying your veggies like never before. Great for snacks, game day, a nice side or just to get the kids to eat veggies. Keep jarred sauce and other ingredients on hand and you are on your way to crispy, pizza goodness! This recipe was adapted from 12tomatoes.com and as their photo is better than mine, I have also used their photo. Credit to 12tomatoes.com.
