Baked courgette chips with parmesan, oregano and paprika

I reckon if you make any vegetable chip shaped, cover it in salty cheese with some herbs and spices chucked in for good measure, your kids will accept them. This is the theory I am trying out here anyway. I knocked these up very quickly just before lunch today whilst a stew was bubbling, and when they came out the oven my daughter was frantic to try them. She really enjoyed them. I’ve yet to see if my son will like them. His favourite cheese is parmesan (I’m aware how middle class that is!!) and he likes pretty much anything if you call them chips, so yeah, I’m confident.

These would be amazing as a little party nibble, maybe with a blue cheese dip. Or, just serve them as a vegetable side, with sausages, fish, whatever. Let me know if they go down well in your house won’t you? I’d be thrilled to hear that you managed to get a veggie hating child to scoff a couple!
The parmesan does melt off the chips, leaving a minor puddle of crispy cheese around the edges, but don’t worry about these, it makes them extra homemade and nice in my opinion!
