Veggie crisps with parmesan and herb dip
Author Notes: A little bit of a different, and significantly healthier, take on chips and dip; easy to make for a crowd, also good to make for yourself in a smaller batch, and guaranteed to please. Flavor the dip to meet your own preferences. - Kayb
Serves 4
Parmesan veggie crisps
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 medium globe eggplant
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or put through press
- 1-3 tablespoon grated onion

- Lightly brush veggies with olive oil, and sprinkle with parmesan and sea salt.
- Bake at 250 for 20 minutes; increase heat to 350 and bake for another 5. Cool on racks completely before transferring to plate or bowl.
