Oven Baked Zucchini Chips

I am totally burnt out from summer.  Run, run, run! And then of course because it is harvest time- lots of freezing and canning.  I am not complaining, mind you. I just feel like holing up in my house for a couple weeks.  

Today, I made a pork shoulder for the next few days eating, short ribs for tonight, froze peaches, zucchini dill soup, salsa verde, beets.... um, what else?  Oh, I made some zucchini bars that I will show you on another day. I also cut up a bunch of veggies for a veggie tray to take to a party, mowed my parents lawn and shopped for fabric.  I love productive days like these.  However, I am looking forward to some much needed R and R.

I made these a week or so ago.  I don't mind baking things like this.  Most people prefer frying it. This is less calories and less messy.
