Ingredients
  

For the Chips
  • 3 medium Cucumbers Opt for organic for the best taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Vinegar Experiment with types like apple cider or balsamic.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to your liking.
For Seasoning Variations
  • 1 tablespoon Dill A classic herb for a fresh flavor.

  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder For a spicy kick.
  • 3 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast For a cheesy flavor that's healthy.

Equipment

  • mandoline slicer
  • Dehydrator

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing the cucumbers thoroughly under cool water. Using a mandoline slicer, slice the cucumbers thinly—aim for about 1/8 inch thick for optimal crispness during dehydration.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers with a splash of vinegar and a sprinkle of salt. Toss gently to ensure all slices are evenly coated. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Arrange the cucumber slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays. Set your dehydrator to 135°F (57°C) and allow them to dehydrate for about 4 hours. Check around the 3-hour mark.
  4. Once finished, remove from the trays and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.
  5. Store your chips in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch for up to 2 weeks.
