How To Make Cucumber Chips
Preheat the oven to 175º F.
Line a baking or cookie sheet with some parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
Wash the cucumbers and slice them into thin rounds. They should be thin, but not so much that you can see through them.
Mix together the oil, vinegar, and salt in a large bowl.
Gently dip the cucumber slices into the avocado oil mixture.
Place the slices on the cookie sheet and bake for 3-4 hours until crispy.
Top Tips For Making
- Use a sharp knife or a mandolin to cut your cucumber into slices, but, obviously, be really careful! You want the slices to be thin enough to get crispy, but not so thin that they stick to the cookie sheet.
- If you’re not a fan of salt and vinegar, omit the vinegar. You can also add things like cayenne pepper if you want a kick, garlic salt, or smoked paprika. The cucumbers are basically a blank canvas!
- We used medium-sized cucumbers for our chips, but smaller ones have smaller seeds. It’s just whatever your personal preference is!
- If you have a dehydrator, you can cook these chips at 125-135º F for 10-12 hours.
