Notes
Important Note
The cooking times will vary due to a lot of different factors, here are a few things to keep in mind.
- Zucchini and squash have a very high moisture content. This also varies depending on how fresh it is. If the zucchini has been freshly picked, it will have more moisture than one that has been stored in the fridge several days.
- The way you cut the zucchini matters. If you cut them into large chunks or thick rounds, it will take longer for them to get crisp.
- Keep an eye on them and remove from the oven when they have reached your desired crispness.
