It is Friday morning and there is barely a soul in my office yet.
I can already tell it is going to be one of those lets go home early type of Fridays.

Coleman and I had some of his bros over for supper last night.
He whipped up some yummy burgers and I fixed up some sides.

I thought I would share -- since they both were a hit.
Even with the boys!

This made a big heaping dish.
Enough to feed me and 4 boys with leftovers!
Zucchini Crisps
Zucchini, 1 cup, sliced
Parmesan Cheese, grated, 1 tbsp
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Original Buttery Spray, 10 sprays
Non-stick cooking spray
Parmesan Cheese, grated, 1 tbsp
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Original Buttery Spray, 10 sprays
Non-stick cooking spray
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, then coat with some non-stick cooking spray. Place the zucchini slices out on the pan, then spritz with them with the butter spray. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese and then pop it in the oven. Broil for a few minutes - until the cheese starts to brown.
I actually change this one up a little.
I use olive oil instead of spray butter.
I cut them into chips instead of slices.
I use a non-stick cookie pan or pizza pan.
I sprinkle with lots of garlic salt and Parm.
Yum.
I used 5 large zucchinis to feed the 5 of us and as much garlic salt and Parm as I deemed necessary.
Sorry for the lack of specifcs.
Hope y'all can make these and enjoy!
Have a fabulous weekend!
