Author Notes: You don’t have to be embarrassed about eating a whole basket of chips when they’re these chips. Great party dish, and subject to an infinite number of variations; these are my particular favorite, but let your imagination and your herb garden be your guide! —Kayb

Directions
Squash Crisps
- Peel and slightly crush garlic cloves. Poach in a small saucepan in olive oil to infuse oil.
- Slice squash on a diagonal, very thin. A mandoline is best, unless your knife skills are excellent.
- Remove garlic from oil, and toss squash chips in infused oil. Place in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake in a 400 degree oven until crisp and starting to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with herbs and Parmigiano. Add salt to taste.
Raita
- Mix all ingredients. Refrigerate for an hour or so to let flavors combine. Serve as dip with squash crisps.
