Food safety

Caution: low

Wash and dry the zucchini before trimming. Use a mandoline guard or careful knife technique, and handle hot sheets with dry oven mitts. Refrigerate cooled leftovers in a sealed container and consume within 3 days, although they will soften in storage.

Risk factors

  • Sharp slicing equipment
  • Hot oven and baking sheets
