One of my favorite diabetic recipes is “DEHYDRATED SPICY ZUCCHINI CHIPS” My dehydrated zucchini chips are a great low carb snack and won't spike blood sugar just don't eat them all in one sitting!!

Need a low carb, low glycemic index, and low glycemic load alternative to potato chips? Look no further!

I was diagnosed with Type2 Diabetes last year

I can’t snack mindlessly anymore and reach for whatever tickles my fancy. Every bite is calculated, weighed, and carbohydrates logged. My goal is to #reversediabetes

So that’s where these homemade spicy zucchini chips come in!

Fresh Zucchini ( I grow mine in my garden)

Spray olive or avocado oil

Old Bay Seasoning

1. *Slice Zucchini into thin, uniform slices. They will dry more consistently if the same size.

* I bought a mandolin slicer for $4 at the Goodwill ho look for one!

2. Spray zucchini slices on both sides with oil and sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning or seasoning of choice

3. *Dehydrate slices for 12 hours at 120 degrees in a dehydrator. (You can also dry the chips in an oven on a cookie sheet and low temperature for several hours)

* I also saw dehydrators at the thrift shop for $10!

The Zucchini chips are ready when they snap and are not chewy anymore!

The dehydrated chips taste the best fresh but you can store them in an airtight container for a week or so.

Enjoy!!

FYI I am not a candidate for diabetic medication because of familial health issues that predispose me to thyroid cancer. So, I have to manage my blood sugar through proper nutrition, stress management, weight loss, exercise, and a great sleep schedule!

I try different foods and measure my glucose levels before eating and then 30 min, 60 min, and 2 hours later so I know if a certain food raises my sugar or not!

DO YOU HAVE TYPE 2 DIABETES and want to join me in supporting each other to reverse it?

I want to share my diabetes hacks with you and also learn from YOU!❤
