Courgette Chips

When you’re growing so many courgettes you simply don’t know how best to eat them! This seems to be my 2020 courgette staple dish, I find myself making them on a weekly basis, and they make the most amazing starter or side to a lunch or dinner.

I usually favour the traditional chip or wedge shape, but they also do well in a circular crisp style, perfect for dunking into a dip of your choice

There are also so many different ways to flavour them. You could go spicy with chilli and chipotle, or garlic and herb, or do as I do with herbs and parmesan.

The dipping sauce is also yours to own too. If you don’t want soured cream you could make a spicy mayonnaise, or serve with a little tomato chilli relish. Fancy ketchup? No problem there either. Your chips and you dip them in whatever you wish.
