Meanwhile, put flour in a shallow bowl. Fill another bowl halfway with cold water. Cut zucchini into almost paper-thin rounds with mandolin and separate slices. Put 12 zucchini slices in one sieve and dip into water, shaking off excess, then transfer dampened slices to flour and dredge. Gently shake in second sieve to remove excess flour. Fry coated slices in oil, turning and separating them with a wire-mesh skimmer or slotted spoon, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer chips to paper towels to drain, then season lightly with salt. Coat and fry remaining slices in same manner. Serve warm. The chips can be made up to 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature. Reheat in a 350F oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Makes 8 to 10 servings. Author Note: "These chips are incredibly light and delicate. Their snap is the result of slicing the zucchini almost paper-thin (quick work on an adjustable-blade slicer), then shaking off all the excess flour before frying."
