A light, delicious side dish full of vegetables for your favorite comfort food entrée. No need for bread or grains to make these deliciously savory Everything Bagel Zucchini Chips! Gluten-free, paleo, and high protein.
Do you have certain comfort foods? I definitely do. Whether their from childhood or from a fun food memory…there are just certain foods that make me feel all cozy and warm.
One of them is mac and cheese without a doubt!
It’s my pre-race meal of choice, I make it for dinner at least once a week, and a I am not picky about it, homemade or store-bought is fine!
I recently got a coupon in the mail from Stouffer’s for one of their family size entrees. I am ALL about free food, so I went to the store to pick something out. The creamy, delicious looking mac and cheese definitely caught my attention.
Like I’ve said before, I’m all about homemade meals, but every once in a while I definitely go for foods that accommodate my busy schedule and are made with wholesome ingredients. Plus, the family size portion allowed me to bring the meal over to my parent’s house for us ALL to enjoy.
If you’re curious, Stouffer’s Mac & Cheese recipe includes real, simple ingredients, like freshly made pasta, cheddar cheese, milk and butter. I like that you can recognize and read everything that goes into their recipe. I have to admit I didn’t know that before getting this opportunity to try some! We know that everyone wants to eat better but needs inspiration and simple solutions to choose from so they can make it a reality more often. Frozen prepared foods are a great time saver and there are so many new dishes and flavors to choose from.
Everyone wants to eat healthier, right? Simple solutions like combining this entrée with a delicious, nutritious vegetable side dish helps make it a reality for more people, more often.
Speaking of sides! I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make to go with my new mac and cheese. But inspiration struck when I looked in my pantry and found my (almost gone…tear) Everything But the Bagel Seasoning from Trader Joe’s. I’ve made tons of stuff with it already but the idea of veggie BAGEL CHIPS sounded amazing at the moment.
I had some zucchini in the fridge that needed to be used up so zucchini bagel chip were born! So simple and easy to make just like the Mac!

Ok wow. This sounds like an amazing combo. Zucchini chips and mac n’ cheese. I love pre-prepared entrees too when there just isn’t time to make a from scratch meal.
They are so handy when you’re busy!!
I would have to say mac and cheese is hard to beat when it comes to comfort food! Those chips look great! Storing up the zucchini recipes for when my garden explodes with them.
Definitely try these out with your fresh garden zucchini!!
Easy and healthy and snack-y and I want a big bowl-ful please! Plus one of the drawers of my fridge is pretty much filled with nothing but zucchini right now, so perfect timing too 🙂 And when it comes to comfort food (a.k.a. comfort carbs haha), for me it’s mashed potatoes all the way!
Looooove me some mashed potatoes too!! So good. You could totally make these chips vegan by using a vegan egg replacer or even skipping the egg altogether!
I love Stouffer’s macaroni and cheese! Fun fact: I live a few miles from the Stouffer’s factory. Talk about torture on long runs in the middle of winter…
OMG that would be so torturous!! So many good smells!! LOL
love love love mac n cheese…esp the ones with extra crust or truffles.
were you able to get zucchini chips to be crispy?
Oooh those macs sound fancy and delish! I loooove truffle oil.
Some of them were crispier than others!
These look delicious I can’t wait to make them!

I am curious how wide are the cuts on the zucchini? Every time I try to make zucchini chips they turn out cooked to the sheet.
They are very thin!!
This is is a cool combo! The chips look so cute! Never heard of a recipe like this before but it sounds great so I’ll try this out for sure!
